Hi Guys, This may news for some of you but not necessarily to others. Please pass this on as our soliders are getting ready to do their part and THIS is what we as AMERICAN civilians can do as our patriotic part for this unfortunately much needed war..... We CAN buy gasoline that is not from the Middle East. 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 NEED to 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 pockets of those Saudi Arabian camel jockeys. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. There is nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank I am sending my money to those rag heads 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. Shell205,742,000 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. :Smarty: Thank you for taking part where you can and as a consumer can do the most against those who hate us (Americans) and our way of life (Freedom!!)....:TU:

Kerry, I usually buy 101 Trick Fuel ( 101 Octane ) from a Unical ( formerly Union 76 )station here in Kent, just outside of Seattle. Any idea where their gas comes from? If it does come form those Saudi :blast: :blast: BACKSTABBERS, I'd definately get my gas somewhere else. John B.
Those Saudis certainly are BACKSTABBERS!!! They're just as bad (or worse) than the ones we're fighting.:af: I can understand politically, why we need an ally over in that part of the world...I just wouldn't consider them 'friends'!! I'd be happy to go out of my way to NOT support them!!:Brow: Tough part is...companies keep buying each other out!? Kind of tough to keep track of who's who.o No:
Before you start changing your gas-buying habits, you may want to read this: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/nogas.htm Snopes is the Urban Legend site. I tend to go there when I get emails such as these.
Hi Guys, Well I guess that leaves us at the "normal for this era we live in" of not knowing who or what to believe. The internet is great for information but also notoriously packed with mis-information too!ou: Who really truthfully knows?o No:
This load of manure has floated into my inbox at least 8 times in the last 2 months. The whole load of "facts" listed are questionable at best, and outright falsifications most of the time. Even IF you accept this crap as true, the bottom line (as listed in Steve's link above) is this: There is only one way to kick these clowns where they live, BUY LESS GAS! Anyway, anyhow, by any means, it is the only thing that will work. :shock: But, are you man enough to drive a four cylinder? :shock:
i always thought real men, originally, walked! not fast enough for ya... i was clocked doing 45 on my old peugot 12 speed. of course i was in MUCH better shape then. now i would be happy if the ambulance went that fast... and dont care where they get their gas from.
