Just received this email on boycotting Saudi gas... unsure of validity...
Subject: Gasoline
And would you believe this is coming from a Mobil retiree!!
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
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. Stop paying for
terrorism............. |
