Boycott Arab Oil...where to fill up...

boycott arab oil ^ | n/a | n/a

[Nagilum]

This came up in another thread,

Anyway, this is a site I found that lists major gas stations and, specifically, how much of their oil comes from the middle east. You may not know that you DON'T HAVE TO BUY muslim gas. I try to fill up at Hess when possible, as they, along with Sunoco and Sinclair, get none of their gas from Muslim sources.

The link to the site is HERE,

Interesting map here that goes along with this that also came from this site, entitled,

THE ENEMIES OF THE WORLD:

Oil being a world market. I dont think it matters too much where the oil comes from. If Im wrong, let me know. Sorry to rain on your parade.

[Rodney King]

Waste of time. It doesn't matter where you buy it. It's a commodity. You would need every single person in the world to agree to do it in order for it to work. Otherwise, the price of Arab oil would decline slightly and then everyone would buy it, forcing the price back up.

[Nagilum]

I suppose my boycott is more of a personal choice rather than a real hope to affect policy. Personally, I just don't want money that I used to become blood money.

[im4given]

i think this boycott could do more harm to america than we realize. the boycott could put many americans out of work. for example my own family who hauls oil. a boycott would be like americans against americans.

[Buck72]

Not a bad idea. I've been trying to buy at Exxon since they are US owned. We are flooded with BP and Shell here in central Ohio. I could switch to Sunoco and kill two birds I guess.

[Ramius]

Well... Here in the state of Washington pretty much all of our gas comes from Anacortes, WA which is the southern terminal for the supertankers bringing oil down from the Alaska pipeline. Pretty much nomatter what you buy here, Exxon, Texaco, BP, Chevron... whatever... it's all an Alaska product.

[Who dat?]

I don’t know how accurate it is. I know that in Portland, Texaco, Shell, Chevron, ARCO, and Tosco were forever making fuel swap deals. ARCO would run out of super and Texaco would push a shot up the pipeline to them. Texaco would run low on diesel and Tosco would send a shot down.

Sometimes if the pipeline was being used for something else they’d transfer it via barge and on some occasions they’d actually tell the drivers to pull all their unleaded (or whatever) out of the other company’s loading facility. Sort of funny to see a big truck that says TEXACO down the side of it loading at the Chevron rack.

[Rodney King]

Fair enough.

[visualops]

It would seem to me to be more prudent to encourage drilling & production in the USA to lessen the need for imports. This is to promote self-sufficiency and independence.

You may want to check your mutual funds, and see which companies you are supporting, too.

Thanks.

Eh, it's a waste of time.

I believe it's possible on many occassions that a "Hess" station will have non-Hess gas. Where the companies' refineries get crude from actually doesn't matter.

There's enough pointless symbolic stuff that will make no difference to anyone going on, don't think we need more.

Gas is a fungible commodity. It's impervious to boycotting anything having any effect on anyone.

[Ramius]

Markets are funny that way, aren't they?

[Coroner]

The problem with your argument is the Arabs will sell their oil elsewhere and it will be sold to the USA (we use 25% of the worlds oil). The worlds refineries are operating at maximum capacity. We cannot afford to boycott Arab oil it would ruin the US economy.

Read post 3 over and over again. It will eventually sink in!!

[Ramius]

IIRC... the U.S. actually gets only about 20 or 25% of its oil from the middle east as a whole. It's actually quite a bit more practical to get our imports from South America (Argentina, being the biggest I think). The balance is domestic.

The silly truth is that if we absolutely had to... we could get along without any ME oil at all. Whatever of it that is finding its way here gets so diluted and cross-sold among the distributors I'm not sure you could really isolate a good boycott target.

It is actually Europe that is totally dependent on ME oil, whatever portion they don't get from the North Sea.

[cookcounty]

It's all fungible. All the gasoline sold in North Suburban Chicago literally comes out of the same spigot! ---or at least the same pipeline terminal.
