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 money to people who are financing terrorists 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 (petrol) from.
Major companies that import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 -
8/31/01)
Shell 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon/Mobil 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco 62,231,000 barrels
At US $30/ barrel, these imports amount to over US $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 US Department of Energy and can easily be documented. US refineries are 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! 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 thirty 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 ten people. How long would all that take? If each of us "cuts and pastes" and sends this article out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 million people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!
