where to buy gas ??
 

this was sent to me so i thought i would pass it on

WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-GAS

WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON--
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 famil y, 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 majo r companies import Middl e Eastern oil .
BOY COT These COMPANIES And Watch Gas Prices Fall

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.......from South America , from a Dictator who hates Americans
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (oil is now $80 - $90 a barrel)

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:


Sunoco...................0 barrels
Conoco..................0 barrels
Sinclair.................0 barrels
B P/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 ea ch of you s end 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 !

Thanks for the great info. I like to use Sonoco gas I believe its the best !

im a BP or Hess user myself

Worth a shot, whats the worst could happen.........gas going up:eek:

done!

thanks Mike,

I usually buy mine at a 7-11(which I believe is citgo, and not listed), or the cumberland farms in da hood by my house(you know where I mean). or if I am in the area I get it at the Costco on Sample(I have seen the BP trucks there several times, and know thats where they get it) looks like I'll be a Hess, or BP guy now, when I dont get down to Sample.

Rick

Thanks for the info Mike, I never looked at it like that. It makes good sence where you do and dont buy your gas.

Good ole SNOPES:party-smiley-004:

:D Citgo imports from a South American dictatator who hates Americans.

Glad to see BP on the good list. I have always been an Amoco/BP guy!

Go read the Snopes article.


Oil is alot more complicated than that. A barrel of oil may change hands numerous times between the time it's pumped out of the ground and when it's finally purchased by the end user. Just because BP pumped it, they may likely not retail it. Every oil company has a trading department. They buy and sell oil every day. They may have short-term supply issues one way or another that require them to sell crude they don't have capacity to refine or they may buy it to keep a refinery processing. They may make a decision that it's more profitable to sell that tanker-ship load that's halfway through its trip to another oil company than it is to process and retail it themselves- usually in a situation where wholesale costs have changed.

Remember, the oil companies live in the same world we do. Today's price of oil is today only. They may pump millions barrels today with the market at $90 but they can't deliver it to you today. They need to move it to a port processing facility, load it onto a tanker, ship it across the globe, unload it, pipeline it a thousand miles and refine it. If the market moves from $90 to $70 during that span, they lose $20 million (paper loss) on that million-barrel load.

OK....I have over 400 addy's in my folder......everyone in the addy book will get this....let hope it works.......I still think people buy based on price.......even a few cents on a gallon less dumb azzes will drive an extra 5 five miles to save 40 cents on a fill up :angry-smiley-038:

We use hess, with the hess credit card you get 10% for 1st 90 days, then 5% off there after.

I wonder what the stats are today on oil imports?
The email and the Snopes article both seem at least 5 years old.

Hey, let's all just switch to E85. It's $.50 a gal cheaper anyway.:cool:

Maybe cheaper but that's going to be reflected in your gas mileage even more. Ethanol has substantially less BTU count than gasoline.

Plus, if you peel away the government subsidies, then look at the amount of production needed to actually make a real dent in petro-imports, ethanol then truly appears for what it really is- a diversion.

Chris,
That's my understanding also, E85 produces less BTU's, and is a MAJOR Water attractor, not too good for boating, i would think.
Dean

Ethanol has about half of the heat value of gasoline. It gets into some complicated chemistry but about half of the methyl alcohol molecule isn't combustible.

At the same time, alcohol has a significantly higher octane and it's better at remaining in a vaporized state so it burns better, so there's not a real-world 50% loss in power.

You're right- ethanol is a water sponge. Drygas is 100% alcohol- its intended use is to pull water from gasoline and pass it through the combustion process. With EPA mandated systems, the delivery & storage of fuels is much better- it's tough to get water into them- but it can happen. But it can happen with gas too and without the ethanol, water in gas is really bad. I have heard of boats like Skaters having fuel tank problems attributed to alcohol.

Unless your marina has a CAM 2 pump, or you truck in race gas, alcohol is just a reality of boating.

I've had to run BP (It's still British Petroleum, no matter how much they'd like to get away from it) in my Harley a few times out on the road and it runs like crap! Rough idle, lots more engine vibration at speed, etc. Most, if not all, of the BP dealers in my area are selling the 10% ethanol blend.

Where you buy your gas has little to do with who refined it. BP and everyone else buy and sell their refined product on the open market.

Ethanol is used primarily for oxygenation under EPA mandate. It replaced MTBE when its use was restricted. In most populated areas the blend can vary county-to-county.
