Email I just got. This might work if we can get everyone to do it.

I think that printing this out and leaving it in the grocery carts, etc., would be a good idea. What do you guys think?

WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS.
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 might be 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 Gasoline stations are IMPORTERS of Saudi Oil. DO NOT BUY THEIR
OIL OR PRODUCTS.

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! Notice that 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 information is available from the Department of Energy
where 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. If you can't
think of 10 people to email this to, print it and hand it out to 10
friends.

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!

1. Recommended. Thank you. We only purchase the very small ...

... amount of gasoline we need from either BP or Citgo. We have a 13 y/o auto with only ~ 28,900 miles, i.e., the two of us walk most of the time (upwards of 6 miles per day to and from work and for other stuff).


Peace.

5. How about whippping up a flyer like this

Cut out the small talk, just the facts, and list the names of the oil companies
in two columns with the numbers - ones who do and ones who don't.

Lay them out 4 on a page using Word so that is easy to copy, paste and print.
They can then be cut up and left all over the place.

7. SNOPES debunked this about 5 years ago actually. There is nothing

accurate about any of its details.

Sorry.
