Just putting it out there -- (not new info)

I don’t do email forwarding, but this was an interesting read. I buy mostly American gas to begin with, but I felt like passing this on:

I buy 90% of our gasoline at ARCO…but take a look at WALMART. WOW they do it right[COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=black](Notice where WalMart gets their gasoline!)[/COLOR][COLOR=black]

[/COLOR]WHERE TO BUY[COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=navy]AMERICAN[/COLOR][COLOR=navy] [/COLOR]GASOLINE… THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON.[COLOR=black]

[/COLOR]Gas rationing in the 70’s worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even have been good for us![COLOR=black]

[/COLOR]Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products? In addition, they are gouging us on oil prices.[COLOR=black]
[/COLOR][COLOR=red]Shouldn’t we return the favor? [/COLOR]Can’t we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates their profits, their livings? How about leaving American Dollars in America and reduce the import/export deficit?[COLOR=black]
[/COLOR]An appealing remedy might be! to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up your car you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just purchase gas from companies that don’t import their oil from the Saudis. [COLOR=black]
[/COLOR]Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up my tank, I’m sending my money to people who I get the impression want me, my family and my friends dead. The following gas companies import Middle Eastern oil:[COLOR=black]

[/COLOR]Shell… 205,742,000 barrels[COLOR=black]
[/COLOR]Chevron/Texaco… 144,332,000 barrels[COLOR=black]
[/COLOR]Exxon /Mobil… 130,082,000 barrels[COLOR=black]
[/COLOR]Marathon/Speedway… 117,740,000 barrels[COLOR=black]
[/COLOR]Amoco… 62,231,000 barrels[COLOR=black]
[/COLOR][COLOR=red]And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela by Dictator Hugo Chavez who hates America and openly avows our economic destruction! (We pay Chavez’s regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues!)[/COLOR][COLOR=black]

[/COLOR]The U .S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $100 per barrel, that’s over $550 million PER DAY ($200 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies!!! It won’t stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we keep buying their product.[COLOR=black]

[/COLOR]Here are some large companies [COLOR=green]that do not[/COLOR] import Middle Eastern oil:[COLOR=black]
[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Sunoco…0 barrels
Conoco…0 barrels
0ASinclair…0 barrels
BP / Phillips… 0 barrels
[/COLOR][COLOR=black]
[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Hess…0 barrels [/COLOR][COLOR=black]
[/COLOR][COLOR=green]ARC0…0 barrels [/COLOR][COLOR=black]
[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Maverick…0 barrels[/COLOR][COLOR=black]
[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Flying J…0 barrels[/COLOR][COLOR=black]
[/COLOR]Valero…[COLOR=green]0 barrels
Murphy Oil USA*…0 barrels
[/COLOR][COLOR=black]
[/COLOR][COLOR=green]*Sold at [/COLOR][COLOR=black]Wal-Mart[/COLOR][COLOR=green] , gas is from South Arkansas and fully USA owned and produced. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]
[/COLOR][COLOR=green]*Not only that but they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens…[/COLOR][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=black]

[/COLOR]All of this information is available from the U.S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.

But to have a real impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers With the help of the internet, 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!!
[/COLOR][COLOR=black]

[/COLOR]I’m sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at only 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!!!
[COLOR=green]
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-the entire population! of the United States of America !!!
[/COLOR]

Again, all you have to do is forward this message to 10 people. How long would that really take you? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people, within one day all 300 MILLION people could theoretically be contacted during the next eight days

As far as I can tell, the only companies we have locally from that list are Sunoco, Flying J and some Valero stations.

Kwik fill says their gas is all from America too

yeah i go to sunoco for my gas.

I can’t seem to find any info on the Department of Energy web site verifying this information.

dude, fuck off.

it was in an email, it has to be true.

:thankyou:

This post has to be without a doubt one of the worst all winter.

I also find it amusing that I won’t do business with any of the fuel stations on that list except for Sunoco and Flying J. Which is even funnier as Sunoco has holdings offshore from China.

Could have sworn Red Apple made an entire commercial about using domestic oil, and I do not see them on that multi-fonted email.

How can you NOT look at snopes before posting something like this?

the fanciful colors blinded him

Yeah, I’ll just continue buying gas where ever it’s convenient for me.

I did stop at a couple Valero stations on a recent road trip and both were spotless inside and out which was a nice change from the typical gas & gulp.

both cars take premuim both cars get sunoco.

Valero and noco buy their paint and epoxies from me so thats where I get my gas.

:lol: Thank you.
