Terror-Free Oil Initiative

Terror-Free Oil Initiative is dedicated to encouraging Americans to buy gasoline that originated from countries that do not export or finance terrorism.

We educate the public by promoting those companies that acquire their crude oil supply from nations outside the Middle East and by exposing those companies that do not.

We are also looking into creating a healthy debate concerning alternate methods of fuel production and consumption.

Does that include Citgo and Hugo Chavez? I

Nice marketing but I'm pretty sure the oil we get is a mixture of oil from all over.

I like that initiative and would love to buy Gasoline or heating oil from countries that don't sponsor or harbor terrorist groups.

That would probably eliminate all of the oil flowing out of the middle east but it would be worthwhile.

The article missing articles...

By not using any Mid-East oil they're also avoiding oil from Kuwait and Iraq. That's the problem with broad brushes.

Pointless but well-intentioned exercise. Oil is a fungible commodity. If you don't buy it from Iran, somebody else will.

The only way to hurt terrorist oil is to reduce the price of oil. This means 1) increasing supply on the worldwide crude market by developing US resources and/or 2)reducing demand via technology/conservation/alternatives wherever possible.

'Terror Free' Gas Station

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

[VaRepublican]

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.

[proxy_user]

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.

[Linda Sandoval]

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

[Buck W.]

Price? $5/gallon?

[Lx]

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

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

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.

There's a chain of gas stations (Kwik-Fill) in Pennsylvania that uses only Penna crude for its gasoline. These Okies are NOT the first.

The Florida-based group claims U.S. dollars used to purchase gas made from oil funds terrorism.Yes, better that we support Chavez and his goal to be the next Castro and keep communism in the western hemisphere alive and well. Yeah, that's a goooood idea...
