This makes a lot of sense to me! 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 importing Middle Eastern oil (from 9/1/00- 8/31/01): Shell 205,742,000 barrels Chevron/Texaco 144,332,000 " Exxon/Mobil 130,082,000 " Marathon 117,740,000 " Amoco 62,231,000 " 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 " Conoco 0 " Sinclair 0 " BP/Phillips 0 " All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can be easily documented. Refineries located in t he U.S. are required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report monthly to the DOE. Share these facts with your friends......

In either case the idea is quite staggering." -- Arthur C. Clarke
