I received this chain letter in the mail from a family member. Obviously the original sender isn't 100% clear on who exactly is after the killing of Americans, or that the majority of oil used in America is drilled in America. However, this was still pretty intresting.

QuoteGASOLINE SOLUTION!

We CAN buy gasoline that is not from the Middle East.  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 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.

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!
I think it is up to $40 /barrel now!!!  THINK ABOUT IT!!

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

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.  They report on a monthly basis.    Keep this list in your car;
share it with friends. Stop paying for terrorism.............

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 peoplewill 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 much 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!

I would like to add one thing to this.

GODBLESS AMERICA!

We are paying those terrorist 12 billion a day for gas.. I think the time
has come for us to take a stand and  do what this article suggests.

Chain letter, ugh. If you didn't reply with a letter telling them to go fuck themselves and never send you this shit again than you're just as bad as them!

And that is why my grandmother doesn't know my aim screen name or my email adress.

Because you don't want her sending emails about which gas companies import fuel from where? My grandparents rarely email me, so I don't mind.

Coincidentally, the two closest gas stations to my house are a Citgo and a BP.



Wait. Something's wrong. BP actually sells Amoco-branded gasoline, the two companies merged and many stores labeled "Amoco" turned into "BP". If you look closely at the pump, the gasoline is still Amoco-branded. Amoco imports Middle Eastern oil, BP does not.. what's going on? I think this document is a bit outdated.

w00t I always use "Huskey" and "Mohawk" both are non Middle Eastern based.

Amoco? Is that a different brand than AAMCO?

Double A, MCO.

I could see the CEO of one of the companies listed as not getting their oil from the Middle East as the originator of this chain letter.

I dunno about you guys but hess is the best. I buy all my gas from them. The reason they rule is they are the cheapest gas station (consistantly, I mean they always seem to be atleast 1 cent cheaper then the rest) in my area, and they are the closest to my house.

I've never seen a Hess gas station.

Changed the color, but didn't help. The forum does weird things to consecutive whitespaces.
