From an Email my wife forwarded to me from her office:
"WHERE TO BUY GAS WITHOUT FUNDING TERROR...
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.
These 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
Citgo gas is from Venezuela, run by Hugo Chavez, a murdering Communist, Fidel-loving dictator who hates Americans.
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amounted to over 18 billion dollars.
But the current truth is worse than that because oil is now $90 - $100 a barrel
That's right - the scum and filth who had 3,000 Americans killed on 9/11 and sent the cowardly little turd who murdered my son in Iraq and eight other troops with an IED are making about 54 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR from the crude oil they sell us.
___
Here are some large companies that DO NOT import Middle Eastern oil:
Sunoco.....................0 barrels
Conoco/Phillips....0 barrels
Sinclair.....................0 barrels
BP..............................0 barrels
Hess..........................0 barrels
ARCO........................0 barrels
Sunoco.com has a list of their station locations near you.
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."
PASS THIS ON, PLEASE. IT'S IMPORTANT IF WE'RE GOING TO BREAK THE TERROR MACHINE.
Be aware, though, that this is unlikely to be as powerful a weapon as the author seems to think it is.
China would just buy up any oil that we didn't buy on the world market - we have to out-bid them right now on the spot market, just to get oil from overseas. China is one major reason oil costs over US$100 a barrel.
However, it would drop the market price for oil on the world market, which would hurt the Arabs.
In fact, if we were able through driving less, using hybrid, ethanol and other biopower, and nuclear-generated electricity to stop importing oil entirely, we would bootstrap our economy into a whole new era of efficiency and profitability.
Just developing inertial confinement fusion power, which can use an isotope of boron which makes up 80 percent of the natural supply as nuclear fuel and may not create nuclear waste at all (since the boron fusion reaction creates no neutrons, and thus makes few radioactive materials), could turn the United States of America back into the leader of the free world in every respect - technology, economic power, military power (an inertial confinement fusion reactor would probably be much easier to build and safer than current nuclear reactor designs, and might be capable of being built small enough to run ships, aircraft and motor vehicles).
We keep not working to our strengths. This is going to be our undoing if we persist in it.
