SLOWLX Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I know its controversial and as such may get closed or deleted, but Im going to try. With gas prices into the mid $3.40's today many of us simply are going to sink. Personally theres 0 chance I can afford these prices and my housing/car. So Im about to go under. So please understand my dissatisfaction towards these price gouging jerks. This is an E Mail I got: The "Don't fill up on....pick a day" emails you have seen in the past have never made any impact. Picking which stations to use on a consistent basis might.... Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil. 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 $90/barrel, these imports amount to over $54 BILLION per year! (Oil is now over $100 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. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. 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 least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to a t 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 people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it ...... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next eight days!

Science Abuse Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I hate to break it to you, but everyone uses middle east oil. The world oil supply is so diluted that it is impossible to tell where a given companyies gasolene came out of the ground. Just because they don't buy from middle easters refineries doesn't mean that the crude didn't come out of the sandbox. People will buy wherever it is cheap, or where ever is closest when their tank is on E. Personally, I put Sunoco 94 in my car anyways.
