Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 What do you think of this? Ill try to buy only from those others...- although I wish my car ran on biodiesel! Where to buy Gas... 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.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 This is a hoax/urban myth type email. You can see it at www.snopes.com, where they list all the forwards going around and tell you if they're true or not. Michelle Morton-niyama wrote: > > What do you think of this?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 This is one of those urban myths that go around from time to time. All gasoline that you pump in your vehicles comes from the same tank farm in or near your city. It is not cost effective for all the different companies to have their own storage in every place. Everyone's gasoline comes from them and then add what their secrets are once it is in the tanker truck. DH is retired from Royal Dutch. Here in the States, that is Shell Oil. We get a very minor amount of oil from the Arab world. Venezuela id actually the 3rd largest supplier and they are having problems down there. As far as gas prices. It is simply gouging and it appears they are getting away with it. Linda http://www.lillizard.com/Supplies.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 No problem Michelle.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 RIGHT ON!!! ANOTHER THING WE MIGHT DO IS TO CONSIDER THE MILEAGE WE GET FROM OUR OWN VEHICLE. WE TRADED OUR JEEP IN FOR AN AMERICAN MADE CAR AND DOUBLED OUR GAS MILEAGE...MEANING WE NOW USE ONLY HALF AS MUCH. IT HAS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE AND EVEN THOUGH WE LIVE OFF A DIRT COUNTRY ROAD HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEM IN SNOW AND MUD.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 OK Class #2 on Gasoline and Crude Oil A barrel of Crude is 32 gallons. Of this 32 gallons, only 45 to 60% is actually refined to gasoline depending on the grade of crude. The rest is the byproducts used for asphalts, plastics, medicines and manufacturing products. Say it is sweet crude, the highest grade. 60% would be approximately 19.2 gallons of gasoline. So 250,000,000 barrels of top crude is only 150,000,000 gallons of gasoline. Below is a what if scenario. Say there are 125 million cars in the US that use gasoline and each car will hold 15 gallons of gas. That means it takes over 1.8 billion gallons of gasoline to fill them up each week. That would mean that according to the figures given. only 2 gallons per vehicle, per year are consumed of Middle Eastern Oil This does not include diesel or kerosene. Is the light coming on yet?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Yep, but until the vehicle manufactures get off the patents for these engines which they have had since before WWII, we are at their mercy:( Linda http://www.lillizard.com/Supplies.html Check out the great deals! - Michelle Morton-niyama Sunday, March 02, 2003 3:32 PM Re: Fw: gas > > Is the light coming on yet? > > Linda Yeah- that we really need to tap into some other solutions- hydrogen power, veg oil alternatives(hemp!), plastics recycling... michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
