Who do YOU support when you fill up your gas tank?
I am happy to report that the gas that I buy at 7-11 in Seattle comes from
South America. I attained this info by calling the number on my gas
receipt. First, they told me that 7-11 sells CITGO gas.
(Did I know this?)
(No)
Then, I was given a number to call to determine where CITGO gas comes from,
which lead me immediately to the answer to my question. CITGO gets its oil
from South America.
Now, here's the "forward"........
Why didn't George W. think of this?
Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might
even be good for us!
The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should return the favor.
An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS. 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.
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.
(For the period 09/01/00 - 08/31/01):
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
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Citgo....................0 barrels
Sunoco.................0 barrels
Conoco................0 barrels
Sinclair.................0 barrels
BP/Phillips............0 barrels
Hess....................0 barrels
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. They report on a monthly basis. Keep this list in your car;
share it with friends. Stop paying for terrorism.........
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers.
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
least 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 people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further,
you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
