True, but it is at least a start towards getting the consumer to understand that the 'cost' of gas is not what they are paying at the pump. No, I think it's an opportunity for people to "feel good about doing something for the cause" without really doing anything or paying any real price.
As a culture we're addicted to these kinds of solutions.

I like the idea but in concept wont work. Like the milk in the container in your fridge, it comes from many different cows by the time it got to you. The gas in every gas station's tanks comes from all over the world.

"feel good about doing something for the cause"
That will be the net effect for at least 98% of the market...but there will be that little small sliver that just might start to think...if only a tiny bit.

It's a start, and an attempt. I completely support it. Re: fungibility... one could say that about anything. For example, just because I don't use cocaine or meth or whatnot doesn't stop someone else from using it, and the dealers and producers still make their money, but I ain't contributing to it. (Now, Trappist monks on the other hand...) The Saudis might still make money, but they shouldn't off of us. No, your analogy is off. The cocaine analogy is as follows: The Columbians and Bolivians supply cocaine to local US dealers. Those dealers mix the cocaine together. You don't like Bolivians, and one of the dealers says "Buy this cocaine, is is colombian".
Despite your intentions, you are still buying bolivian cocaine.
Even if the local dealers did seperate Colombian and Bolivian cocaine, your buying colombian only would still not do anyting to harm the bolivians if the cocaine is totally fungible. So, lets say before you bought colombian sometimes and bolivian sometimes. Now, you say yo just want colombian. The dealer doesn't care, he just sells someone else who used to be 50/50 all Bolivian.

What you don't buy, someone else will. So the terrorists will get their money anyway. But we'll FEEL so much better about it!

But we'll FEEL so much better about it! Which is obvious by the comments. People don't really care if it does anything, they just want to feel good about themselves. It's like people who drive Prius's.

Your post implies dishonesty on the part of TFO... if they're doing there best to only buy North American, and saying so...
I'd like to believe it's possible to buy only domestically produced oil, and we ought to do so when given the opportunity (and, if not, we ought to start demanding it!).

Yes, I made it using Paint (of all things). But I don't make any magnets or T-shirts. You can print it out and have some made, if you like.

Great awareness idea. I'd buy gas there. Just a thought, do any States post, on the pump, the TAX on a gallon of gas?

Well, I'd like to believe in Unicorns.
