Department of Energy

Posted on 04/09/2008 2:08:56 PM PDT by Dallas

WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON--

Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.

These companies import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell...........................205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco.........144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil...............130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway...117,740,000 barrels
Amoco..........................62,231,000 barrels

Citgo Gas comes from South America, from a Dictator who hates Americans.

Do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (Oil is now $100-$110 a barrel)

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

Also: Pilot, Flying J, Love's, RaceTrac, Valero.

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.

This is excellent information. I am going to go out of my way to use this list. If it could be widely disseminated, it could have a fantastic impact on the effect of petrodollars on the terrorist economy.

Kudos to you!

Usually buy from a Conoco station. Only use Flying J on our annual trek to ST. Louis.

AMOCO was bought by BP about 10 years ago.
I doubt this info is up to date or valid!

"AMOCO was bought by BP about 10 years ago."

That was my recollection also. Doe you have a source for this data?

Folks,

It does not matter whether you buy your gas from companies that import from the Middle East.

Oil is a *commodity* and if the US buys more from non Middle Eastern sources, then others will have to buy more from the Middle East since the remaining available supply from non Middle East sources will be less. In the worst case, oil suppliers from various regions will sell to each other if there is an imbalance, or rely on brokers to transfer ownership of the oil.

Petroleum is a fungible commodity.

It doesn't really matter who you buy it from... your purchase affects the market price, period.

What you are recommending is like saying make sure you dip your bucket in a certain part of the ocean because we want to affect the level in a certain place.

Maybe it’s just a “feel good” for me. But I’d rather give my money to a company that imports ME oil as a last resort, instead of a regular practice.
