Another misguided urban legend.

GASOLINE SOLUTION!
We CAN buy gasoline that's not from Middle East.
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
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!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people.
How much would all that take? If each of us sends
this e-mail out to ten more people within one day
300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted
within the next eight days!
