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 :
Arab 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!
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Other 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 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.
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!

I just paid $2.659 per gallon last night for premium. I drive roughly 40 miles each way to work, so it's really starting to hurt. The up side though, my little Jetta is getting 30-35 mpg regularly, so I can't complain too much, YET.
What am I doing, nothing. I can't just stop going to work.
We will never see gas below $2 per gallon again, how depressing. The gas companies keep raising it and people keep paying it.

Nope 1,000 a week not 100

OK some of you doom and gloom individuals need to relax. Then end will not come because of high gas prices. I imagine people in the early 80s were saying "this is the end" as well, but it wasnt.
Oil is so high mainly due to investors are betting that there will be a shortage. So in essence there is a run on oil futures. One thing that is spurring this run on is that India and China's economy is booming so therefore they are buying cars and just now beginning to experience the thrill of driving that we as Americans have known for decades. Once one of the major oil consuming countries economies slow down (whether it be India, China or the USA) oil usage will go down therefore bring everything back into a balance.
As far as gas prices in Britian and Sweden and the Netherlands, Yes they are the highest in the world but they are also taxed a few dollars per gallon as opposed to our .39 cents per gallon.
The end of cheap oil is possibly over but as oil goes up it will be more feasable and profitable to drill deeper and refine different types of oil as opposed to what is available now at current oil prices.
America uses over 50% of the worlds oil yet only produce a small portion of this. We are spoiled on the belief that we can get in our gas guzzling SUVs and there will be an endless supply of gas, which is not the case.
The economy holds a fine balance, and yes the high price of oil is starting to throw the economy out of balance but everything will be ok. I promise, again, its not the end of the world.
