I received this today...very interesting. I hope this is correct information, if not please correct...

WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW READ ON.

Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products? In addition, they are gouging us on oil prices.
Shouldn't we return the favor? Can't we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates their profits, their livings? How about leaving American Dollars in America and reduce the import/export deficit?
An appealing remedy might be to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up your car you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just purchase gas from companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.
Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up my tank, I'm sending my money to people who want me, my family and my friends dead.
The following gas companies import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell........................ 205,742,000 bbl
Chevron/Texaco...144,332,000 bbl
Exxon Mobil...........130,082,000 bbl
Marathon/Speedway.117,740,000 bbl
Amoco......................62,231,000 bbl
CITGO oil is from Venezuela, the "President" is Dictator Hugo Chavez who openly hates America and vows to cause our economic destruction! (We pay Chavez's regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues!)
The U.S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $70 per barrel, (today's price) that's over $386 million PER DAY($141 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies!!!!!
It won't stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we're not careful and keep buying their products.
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Sunoco......................... 0 barrels
Conoco............................... 0 barrels
Sinclair................................. 0 barrels
BP / Phillips................... 0 barrels
Hess. .................................... 0 barrels
ARC0..................................... 0 barrels
Maverick......................... 0 barrels
Flying J. ....................... 0 barrels
Valero................................ 0 barrels
*Murphy Oil USA* ......... 0 Note: Murphy is sold at Wal-Mart , the gas is from South Arkansas and fully USA owned and produced.
*Not only that but they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens.

All of this information is available from the U.S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.

But to have a real impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers With the help of the Internet, it's really simple to do. Now, don't wimp out at this point.....keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at only ten more (30 x 10 = 300)......and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000).........and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!!!!!!!

If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it.....THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE-the entire population of the United States of America !!!!

Again, all you have to do is forward this message to 10 people. How long would that really take you? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people, within one day all 300 MILLION people could theoretically be contacted during the next eight days!
 
Guess i'm ok as I only buy my gas from BP and Valero. I already knew how the Saudis 'feel' about us. Maybe that's why Obama bowed to the Saudi 'King', lol. ;)
 
Disadvantage to only buying American gas: the gas station that uses gas from overseas employs AMERICAN workers. And a ton of them at that. So if every one did not go to those gas stations all those people would lose their jobs. The workers at the AMERICAN refinery that converts the oil into gas, the AMERICAN truck driver who gets it to the station, etc. See where I'm going with this? Now, that being said I make the effort to buy from American supplied companies (or Canadian, since that is where BP gets most of its oil from in case you didn't know) but that is just something to think about.
 
I actually got that same email a couple years ago!:eek:

I don't follow the logic of job losses from under utilizing our refinining capabilities if we did boycott foreign oil. Weren't they recently telling us that we're already at max cap and that even if they were to relax the EPA standards, nobody wants to build more refineries on US soil? So, if we took some burden off those employee's working with foreign oil, wouldn't we then also be able to pump more domestic crude?

We couldn't do that though, cuz it would destabilize us if we weren't dependent on foreigner's!:rolleyes:
 
I buy gas wherever it is CHEAPEST! PERIOD.

Doesn't matter where it comes from it is same stuff.

We refine it when it gets here anyway..


I Do wish we could get rid of the NAZIEPA & LEFTY LOONIES & drill for our own oil so we could pay less.
 
I hear if you live near any place that produces the end product "gasoline", you will see trucks of every company name get it from the same place. QuikTrip and BP are in the same line to fill up the trucks.

This is true. I used to work for Amoco(now BP) Oil back in the 90s. Most gasoline is bought on the open market, so it could've come from anywhere...no way to tell.

The only way to boycott Middle Eastern and Venezuelan oil is to drive an electric car :D
 
Just to add a little here, gas prices are mostly dictated by the future commodities market, i.e., your boys on the trading floors. That's why right now, the oil reserves are going up, but the price of oil is being artificially inflated, and we pay for it at the pump. In a real market, more supply and less demand equals cheaper prices, not with the oil futures though.
