Smile Where to buy gas?

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

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 it 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!


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
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!

Talking

well, considering that i mostly buy gas from ARCO ( $2.33 compared to across the street at $2.56 ) , i'm in. how many people would we need to invade Saudi Arabia anyways ( noting the fact that they are one of our biggest allies in the middle east, and they managed to spawn that 6'8" terrorist mutant )
