Where to Buy Gas
Email | 10/25/10 | Email

Posted on 10/25/2010 1:53:19 PM PDT by MattAMatt

WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW READ ON. Gas rationing in the 70's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even have been good for us!

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!

I dunno: What I do know is that we don’t need to ration or boycott anyone, we need to DRILL baby DRILL.

I cannot understand why the fools in Washington cannot figure that out. Instead they are willing to send billions a day to country’s that want us destroyed.

At one time about (fifteen years ago) I read an article that showed Conoco and Marathon (Sunoco and no name brands?) as neither one using any imported oil. I can't see how that would be the case after the last price collapse and rebound in oil, though, unless they own a lot of oil in this country themselves and refine no more than they can pump from their own reserves.

I have three gas stations in my area of life that sell ethanol free. I don’t care about the others.

For a person to selectively purchase gasoline exclusively from vendors supplied by refineries that include no Middle East or Ven crude in their crude mix is ridiculous.

It’s analogous to a greenie buying “100% renewable” electricity, which is one of the most brilliant market segmentation marketing schemes ever invented. All the greenie does in fact is pay a premium for his electrons, but he feels good because they’re renewable. But since is absolutely impossible to supply much electricity from such sources, everybody else pays normal rates for conventional electricity that would be produced in any case.

Plus the greenie’s actual electrons are supplied from a grid and there’s no way in fact to assure that his electrons were actually produced from a renewable source. Just like most gasoline is supplied via a common carrier pipeline system.

Regardless of whether the e-mail is current or accurate (it’s neither) the whole idea of the e-mail is palpably ridiculous.

They no doubt put in the maximum amount of ethanol allowed by law. My wife is always telling me the gas is cheaper at Walmart when I want to stop someplace else to put gas in her car. She just doesn’t get it.

She would understand if she compared the miles per gallon between no ethanol and ethanol. My wife caught that. She has to buy more gas if she uses ethanol.
