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.
That makes some sense NMR. I really wish I could use the other gasolines but the problem I have is that both of my cars do not run good at all unless I put Chevron or Shell/Texaco gas in them. My van sputters and runs rough when I fill up at other stations and my Honda goes through oil like water through a sieve if I use other stations to full up. Now, my daughters older Honda will run the same on any gas she puts in.
I did not believe it myself until I switched back and forth and what it just further proved my experience.
Right you are.
If it’s for sale, someone’s gonna buy it.
Sounds right.
I read it on the Internet, it must be true!!!!!

You are correct my friend!!!
You are, of course right, but see my post around 74. I think one could study the data for some of the larger companies and develop trends toward major import source data per company. I wish someone could develop this kind of data because, if it could be done meaningfully, this sort of boycott is something that could really make a difference.
