Group Plans 'Terror Free' Gas Station in Omaha

Tuesday , January 23, 2007

OMAHA, Neb. — The is planning to open the nation's first "terror free" gas station in Omaha.

The Florida-based group claims U.S. dollars used to purchase gas made from oil funds terrorism. It urges Americans to only buy oil products that originate from countries that do not support terrorism.

I thought that the gas that flows through our pipe lines was all the same with the exception of octane levels and that additives or whatever were added at the tanker filling stations. I like the idea but I think one is still buying the petrol based product from the same old suppliers. I would pay a "liitle" more for domestic oil but is that gonna happen?

Good post! The best I can do is Hess. Never heard of the others.

This is ridiculous.

If you buy any oil product at all, you are supporting terrorists by increasing the effective demand for the products they sell.

I'm in Omaha & have never heard of this. I think they need to do some advertising.

Price? $5/gallon?

Good post!

Thank you for your kind words   :-)

I understand....there is only one Flying J station about 40 miles from the stoat cave.  Hopefully the sentiments driving this initiative will be realized in profits and spur the opening of more stations.

To all:

Please be advised that Flying J as well as Sinclair have 'station locator' search functions on their web pages.  You can click on the links at post # 8 and search to find a station near you.

Anyone remember the 1970's bumper stickers?

Hopefully this will happen when they are up and running.

What's the equivalent marketing thing for coffee, is it fair trade or some such?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Does that mean they'll exterminate the spiders in the bathrooms?

I would be happy if they just cleaned it once a year.

Jeez, I haven't seen a Sinclair station since going cross country with my father in 1978.

[wku man]

Any word on Maverick stations?

Scouts out! Cavalry Ho!

I'm not sure, but it would be interesting to know.  I've always been a believer in using my wallet as my vote, and it would be nice to avoid doing business with anti-American coffee producing nations as well.

What countries are those? Do they include Venezuela which makes kissy-face with leaders of nations that have vowed to wipe out Jews?
I'll stay away, thank you.

Any word on Maverick stations?

Not sure....as you can see, Maverick is not listed by the Terror-Free Oil initiative at all, and they provide no 'station locator' search function at their corporate website

Maverick Engineering, Inc

You may be able to get more information by visiting a station near you.  They may have brochures available at the counter that tells more about their company.

Brazil has also been less than gracious toward us lately.

[PistolPaknMama]

Wow. Pretty short list.

Sinclair station locator didn't work for me. I've seen a Flying J around here somewhere, maybe a truck stop. I'll try to find it.

Unless these companies have created a closed loop production, transportation, refinement and distribution system if would be impossible to ensure that no Middle Eastern oil is part of the gas that they sell.
