I just received this from a friend of mine and thought some of you might find it interesting.



WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON.
Gas rationing in the 70's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even have been good for us!
Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products? In addition, they are gouging us on oil prices.
Shouldn't we return the favor? Can't we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates their profits, their livings? How about leaving American Dollars in America and reduce the import/export deficit?

An appealing remedy might be to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up your car you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just purchase gas from companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.
Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up my tank, I'm sending my money to people who I get the impression want me, my family and my friends dead. The following gas 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

And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela by Dictator Hugo Chavez who hates America and openly avows our economic destruction!
(We pay Chavez's regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues!)
The U.S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $100 per barrel, that's over $550 million PER DAY ($200 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies!!!!! It won't stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we keep buying their product.
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Sunoco ......................... 0 barrels
Conoco ......................... 0 barrels
Sinclair .......................... 0 barrels
BP / Phillips ................ 0 barrels
Hess .............................. 0 barrels
ARC0 ............................ 0 barrels
Maverick ........................ 0 barrels
Flying J. ........................ 0 barrels
Valero ........................... 0 barrels
Murphy Oil USA* ......... 0 barrels

Sold at Wal-Mart , gas is from South Arkansas and fully USA owned and produced.
*Not only that but they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens..
All of this information is available from the U.S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.
But to have a real impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers With the help of the internet, 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 reac h millions of people!!
I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at only 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-the entire population of the United States of America !!!!
Again, all you have to do is forward this message to 10 people. How long would that really take you? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people, within one day all 300 MILLION people could theoretically be contacted during the next eight days!



If you continue to buy foreign products, where will your children work?

You do know The Saudis said The American price gouging is not warranted there is no supply and demand problem AND they will even boost up oil shipments to the US.

On a side note the US is the only one having an oil issue. I wonder if it has more to do with the hype and fear then we are actually running out of oil. Just a thought.

OH ya stay away from emails you might send in some money to Tim butfu(kt too to claim you 20 million dollar lotto winnings from a country you have never been to.

Tell him you will send him 20 million in loto winnings for a small fee of 15k. Because we all know you need the 15k to get 20 mil and you are just a nice person and will give away 19M+ out of the goodness of your human heart.

A good real of thumb is to never believe a mass email chain that encourages you to do anything. Ever. They are almost entirely exaggerated/partially/completely false.

Its nether. Ill explain more when I'm not on a work comp. ;)


But I will say if the media yells jump. America no longer asks why they just jump even if it means beating there head over and over tell the point of brain damage on a spiked celling.

Hope some of you sniffed out the signs and made some smart investments. :cool:

The problem at the pump is fast becoming a crisis at the polls as governments around the world face rising popular unrest and violence because of record-high energy prices.
Portuguese fishermen, Indian civil servants and Bolivian construction workers are among the interest groups who have taken to the streets in recent weeks in mass protests over rising fuel costs.
In Tunisia, the government expressed "regret" over the death Friday of a protester shot by security forces during a demonstration in the town of Redeyef, in the heart of the country's mining region, but vowed to take tough action against further unrest.
"We won't tolerate any use of violence," Justice and Human Rights Minister Bechir Tekkari told reporters.
The political tensions are affecting rich and poor countries alike, with popular protests reported in Europe, Latin America, Africa and across much of Asia.
New conservative South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has seen his political honeymoon cut short in part because of sharp criticism of his handling of the energy crisis. A major street protest is planned for Tuesday, and the country's biggest truckers union authorized a strike over record diesel prices.
Spanish and French fishermen clashed last week with riot police outside the European Union's headquarters complex in Brussels. At least two cars were overturned in the clashes, and police used water cannons to control the crowd.
In Spain, a growing number of gas stations in Madrid and other regions reported Monday they ran out of fuel, the result of a lengthy strike by truckers protesting higher fuel costs.
In Bolivia and Chile, leftist leaders face similar political headaches, as truck and taxi drivers blockade roads and demand higher government subsidies to offset the higher gas prices.
Populist Bolivian President Evo Morales has stood firm so far against the street protests, which have blocked major highways in the country's east, west and south. Unhappy construction workers last week drove dump trucks, backhoes and other heavy machinery into the middle of the eastern town of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
The fuel-price protests closely track a spate of food-price riots that swept the world in the spring, producing a string of deadly clashes and causing at least one government - Haiti - to fall. In both the food and fuel cases, import-dependent governments have infuriated voters when they tried to cut expensive consumer subsidies as food and fuel prices soared.
Economists say the fuel-price rises could prove even more politically toxic, as higher energy prices translate directly into higher prices for food and any other goods that are shipped large distances.
"The explosion in global transport costs has effectively offset all the trade liberalization of the last three decades," said analysts Jeff Rubin and Benjamin Tal of the Canadian investment banking firm CIBC World Markets Inc.
The fuel unrest has been particularly marked in a number of fast-growing Asian markets that are heavily dependent on foreign oil and gas.
India has been particularly hard-hit, with opposition parties joining with civil servants and public-transport officers in street demonstrations against the government. The Indian government last week allowed gas prices and diesel prices to rise because the cost of subsidizing fuel had become too burdensome.
In Kashmir, government employees took the lead in protesting recent price rises in diesel fuel and cooking oil, while private transport operators staged a four-day strike.
The soaring value of oil has produced problems of a different kind for energy exporters.
Brazilian Defense Minister Nelson Jobim told lawmakers last week the country plans to acquire 50 new ships and build a $600 million nuclear-powered submarine to protect valuable offshore oil fields along the country's southeast coast, a reflection of the increased value of the oil deposits there.
"We have to make it clear that defense is part of the national agenda," Mr. Jobim said.
















but i'm sure they are lying.

yeah, opec is choking us out- $150 per barrel of oil= $5 per gallon by Independence day . . .
and it's not like the major oil companies are going to tell their stockholders that a major loss in margins are in order to save the country / free world is going to happen.

thanx to the clintons, who sold the US nuke blueprints to get re-elected to the chinese- who sold them to everyone that we don't want to have them, coupled with the amount of materials and scientists from the crumbled soviet union to complete the equation . . .

years later,
and now we are here.

they will choke us out,
and then demand a place on the world stage.
when it doesn't happen,
they will push the button.

how is that for a conspiracy theory?

i suppose the middle east has a point in charging whatever they want for oil and restraining supply: once they are out of oil, they are going to be a useless blip on the map, a wasteland of few resources but still have many mouths to feed. You will see middle eastern palaces where lots of stuff inside is made of gold. This is their gold reserve for their wealth for when they run out of oil. Some may see all that gold as being frivolous with wealth but really they are just converting cash to assets.

"We need funds for next year... melt that chair down!"

They will then be in control of the gold supply..... and their fingertips to control or destroy the gold market, which is supposed to be a reliable way of preserving wealth...

I suppose after they are depleted in selling all their oil (if there ever is an end to oil before we transition out of it before we run out) .. they will live off wealth management.

Not to mention, what else are they doing with their wealth? buying land in foreign countries? Buying foreign debt? I sense a takeover in the future... all hail President Mohammed!!!1

Its silly and unrealistic to even suggest that those in control of oil would not have an interest in making as much money as possible on it.

for the economically challenged... how do we do that with a finite supply?

limit supply. that alone raises the price. if you have 1,000,000 gigabarrels of oil, if you let 1,000 go to market every year, at $4 billion, that is $4 trillion income. If you let 10,000 hit the market every year, the huge supply would reduce price to say... $1 billion per 1,000... you have just effectivly reduced your current and future income by 75%. Horde your assets and squeeze out just enough to the income level you think is optimal.

It is not so much drilling to meet customer demand, it is drilling to meet your own income needs.

My econ teacher and my wrestling coach in HS told us abut the rationing of gas in the 70's. You could only get gas on certain days depending on the last digit of you licence plate number.
He said they just use to switch license plates with friends.

thats all I got now....
