Something to think about as you approach the pumps... Hi EVerybody; I was sent this by a friend, of a friend, etc. Makes a good point ifya hafta drive a gas car, we ALL, do, now an' again. A friend of mine, now a military consultant for the Middle East, sent this on... INTRODUCING THE GREAT AMERICA OIL EMBARGO..... Where to buy gasoline and not support terrorism. Yisrael Medad of the Begin Center sent the following information. 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. 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 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: Citgo . . . . . . .0 barrels Sunoco . . . . . . 0 barrels Conoco . . . . . . 0 barrels Sinclair . . . . . 0 barrels BP/Phillips . . . .0 barrels All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. 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. We should stop paying for terrorism. Hey! We do one better, PASS up those gas pumps, nomatter where it comes from. Like to think our "Juice" is relativly homegrown. Plugging Along Bob
