My wife forwarded this to me. What do you think? Is this correct?

[RWR8189]

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

[marvlus]

It's really simple to do.

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

[MinuteGal]

Isn't Amoco now BP?

This list may need updating....it's been around a long time.

[RWR8189]

Not too mention that BP owns Amoco...

[Lovebloggers]

Citgo is owned by Venezuela.

[Lokibob]

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

[toothfairy86]

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

[Mr. Bird]

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.

[JHosprey]

Urban legend. Doesn't anyone check Snopes any more?

[evad]

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.

[shadeaud]

Exactly!! Ownership is transferred more times than a joint at a Stones concert.

[Ben Chad]

Glad I didn't get rid of the old 10-speed.

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'?

[DCPatriot]

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.

[dleach]

and Shell owns Texaco...

[anton]

Bomb their ass and take their gas.

[anton]

Yea, they can put the gas into thier rickshaws.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

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.
