    Something to consider when purchasing gas

    Got this off the Clintwood Connection. It actually makes a lot of sense if it is true.

    Yeah, I know you can find anything on the internet and have to be very careful what you believe but if this information is accurate I'm buying all my gas from now on at the Citgo place across from the high school.


    WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.

    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 :

    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!

    KEEP READING.................

    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
    ARC0........................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.

    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!!!

    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!

    It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

    -Teddy Roosevelt

    Re: Something to consider when purchasing gas

    it means if you buy gas at one of these gas stations the money doesnt go to the middle east, therefore you are not supporting the people who want you dead

    Citgo.......................0 barrels
    Sunoco......................0 barrels
    Conoco......................0 barrels
    Sinclair....................0 barrels
    BP/Phillips.................0 barrels
    Hess........................0 barrels
    ARC0........................0 barrels

    Re: Something to consider when purchasing gas

    It is pretty close. the info can be found on truthorfiction.com but it is about 4 years old now. Like I said, it is pretty close to being right.

    Re: Something to consider when purchasing gas

    They are probably aquiring the oil from other parts of Asia (ie. former Soviet Union, and it countries now, and Turkey and such.) The reason their prices are the same is due to federal laws that make all gas prices be relatively similar. Also, just because they are getting the oil elsewhere, doesnt mean that the oil is any cheaper per barrel.

    They often are but just a few cents at the most, but the Minimum Gas Price Laws keep the prices fairly equal across the board.
    I usually buy mine at Hess, but sometimes at Sheetz.
    Anyone know who's Sheetz supplier?
    You'll shoot your eye out.
