Where To Buy Your Gas! (Urban Legend)
Urban Legend ^ | 8/25/2005 | unknown

WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.

READ ON--

Why didn't George W. think of this?

Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even be good for us! The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should return the favor.

An interesting thought it to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.

Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling thatevery time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil :

Arab oil:

Shell............................. 205,742,000 barrels

Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels

Exxon/Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels

Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels

Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Other oil:

Citgo.......................0 barrels

Sunoco...................0 barrels

Conoco...................0 barrels

Sinclair.....................0 barrels

BP/Phillips..............0 barrels

Hess........................0 barrels

ARC0............................0 barrels

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy andeach is required to state where they get their oiland how much they are importing.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers.

It's really simple to do.

I'd buy from a Saudi before I bought from Citgo.

If so, how come it isn't being done?

Add Mirastar to your list of no imported oil (Mirastar is in the west, and associated with WalMart).

I know. Buying Citgo is like buying directly from Hugo Chavez.

The list of no-arab oil companies stretches the imagination, doesn't it? I find it hard to believe that ANY major oil company in the states operates without at least some product from OPEC.

That's because they don't

Oil is a fungible product.

Check snopes.

Instead buy a VW TDI. 48 and 52 mpg on the last two tanks of fuel, the difference due to average speed over the ~700 mile range on a tank. Yes, you're still buying Saudi oil but no more than you must.

Expedition drivers ought to have to wear a towel wrapped around their heads - or declare their car a consulate. Who was it that used to make a model 'Consul'?

It's ridiculous.

The Saudis have a BILLION Chinese and Indians who'll buy their oil.

It's called supply and demand. Of course if you attended American public schools you might not know that.

It's none of your F'n business what someone else chooses to drive. The quote on your home page says it all:

The conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense.

No. It is not correct.

Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.

It doesn't work that way. By the time you are sticking the nozzle into your car's tank, there is no way to know from whom the crude oil was purchased from.
