avoid these gas companies!!!!!!!!

Post by jonathanj »

this is an email i just received from someone. i use hess gas and have no problems.<p>Did you know you have a choice?<p>We CAN buy gasoline that's not from Middle East. Did you know you had a
choice? I didn't. 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!<p>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.<p>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. Now, I know I have a choice!<p>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 (for the period 9/1/00 - 8/31/01):<p>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<p>If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18
BILLION!<p>Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:<p>Citgo....................0 barrels
Sunoco................ .......0 barrels
Conoco................ ..0 barrels
Sinclair................ 0 barrels
BP/Phillips............. 0 barrels
Hess......................0 barrels<p>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.............<p>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!!<p>I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send
it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300)... and those 300 send it to at
least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 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?<p>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!

It doesn't really matter too much where it is all coming from, it is all sold at the same price, the market price.

I always fill up at BP's. Those are everywhere here, and their price dropped to $1.03 a gallon for 2 weeks. British Petrol all the way :D

Citgo gas sucks, and his email number could be off, would if we send it to 10 people that already got it, then they just send it back to each other, then only those 10 will be reached, lol. j/k :D
