So my grandparnets emailed me this forward, and I realize that sounds like an unusual thing to post on a blog, but I think this may be something to get out there. We may be able to significantly lower gas prices if we show the middle eastern oil/gas venders how much money they really do make from us. The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should return the favor. An interesting thought might be to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting MORE money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just buyfrom gas companies who don't import their oil from The Saudis. 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. MIDDLE EAST IMPORTERS: 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! Note: The price of oil is now over $50/barrel- - -increasing the take to about $30 Billion!!!!! Here are some large companies who 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 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.
