Stormracer Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE You might want to pass this on. Take a look at WALMART. WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. Gas rationing in the 70's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even have been good for us! Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products? In addition, they are gouging us on oil prices. Shouldn't we return the favor? Can't we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates their profits, their livings? How about leaving American dollars in America and reduce the import/export deficit? An appealing remedy might be to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up your car you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia Just purchase gas from companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up my tank, I'm sending my money to people who I get the impression want me, my family and my friends dead. The following gas 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 And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela who's Dictator Hugo Chavez hates America and openly avows our economic destruction! We pay Chavez's regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues! The U.S.. Currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $100 per b arrel, that's over $550 million PER DAY $200 BILLION per year! handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies! It won't stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we keep buying their product. 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 Maverick.....................0 barrels Flying J.......................0 barrels Valero..........................0 barrels Murphy Oil USA *.......0 barrels *Sold at Wal-Mart <Gas is from South Arkansas and fully USA owned and produced.. Not only that but they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens. All of this information is available from the U.S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. But to have a real impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. With the help of the Internet, it's really simple to do. Now, don't wimp out at this point..Keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!! I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at only ten more (30 x 10 = 300). And those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000). And so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million. If it goes one level further, you guessed it. THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE-the entire population of the USA! Again, all you have to do is forward this message to 10 people. How long would that really take you? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people, within one day all 300 MILLION people could theoretically be contacted during the next eight days.

Stormracer Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Haha, yeah - never let the FACTS get in the way of a good story. Well I did not check the facts on that email is correct. Took it for face value, which at this point in the internet age we should all know what a mistake that mostly can be. So here I found a legitimate listing of oil imports from the Persian Gulf. The total of oil imported from Jan 2010-June2010 was at 19%. In the list that 19% is then broken down by percentage of that amount by each company. It still gives indication of what companies have or have not imported. http://www.eia.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/summary.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 At the risk of raining on this parade.... I hauled gasoline for 7 years. The gas you buy at your branded station didn't necessarily come from that brand's refinery. We had several unbranded tank farms in New Haven where we loaded gas and then delivered the product to a number of different Branded stations. Common practice. It's called spot market gas. This may not be true in all markets - but up in the northeast it was. Further - it wasn't uncommon for drivers to top off a storage tank at a station with 87 and put the leftover into the 93 tank. Just sayin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Ruf I am hoping that the high test ethanol free is what it is. As I pay$3.75 for it. I am sure that it is though, it is in a stand alone tank above ground, and is clearly advertised as such. I am always seeing high end vehicles, bikes, off road toys etc getting gassed up there. It is labeled VP Race fuel, so lots of racers fuel up there also for the drags down the road. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Too bad we've been prevented from drilling our own as much as we should or could be for the last 3 years. With this middle east situation, the potential of extremely high fuel prices is great. Those with "clean energy" interests must love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
