I thought everyone would find this interesting:
WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.
READ ON...
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 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! Note: The price of oil is now
over $50/barrel- - -increasing the take to about $30
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 inform ation 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!
