Where to buy gasoline and not suppot terrorism

Who knows? It could work. :-)

 

 

 

Sheldon Cohen, sent the following email which is worth our attention. Thank

you Shel for sharing this information.

 

Where to buy gasoline and not support terrorism...actually is food for

thought. Yisrael Medad of the Begin Center sent the following information.

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

 

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 the US 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!

 

DO YOU REMEMBER LAST MAY, WHEN GAS PRICES WERE THREATENING TO GO TO $2.00

PER GALLON? I ACTUALLY PAID $2.05 PER GALLON IN OHIO. WELL, THEY ARE TRYING

TO DO IT AGAIN. WE E-MAILED EVERYONE IN OUR ADDRESS BOOKS, AND ASKED

EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME. WITHIN DAYS, AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, MILLIONS

OF PEOPLE GOT THE MESSAGE, AND GUESS WHAT? MYSTERIOUSLY, GAS PRICES WENT

DOWN. ECONOMICS IN ACTION, SUPPLY AND DEMAND.......IT WORKED!

 

THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE: WE JUST BOYCOTT EXXON AND MOBILE, THE TWO LEADERS IN

THE INDUSTRY, AND BOYCOTT THE OTHER FOUR OR FIVE OIL COMPANIES THAT ARE

BUYING OIL FROM THE MIDEAST, AND WE WILL AIM A DOUBLE BARREL SHOT GUN AT THE

COMPANIES THAT SUPPORT TERRORISM IN THE MIDEAST, AND SIMPLY JUST BUY FROM

THE OTHER FOUR OR FIVE COMPANIES WHO DON'T BUY OIL FROM THE

TERRORIST-SUPPORTING COUNTRIES.

 

IT IS YOUR MONEY! SPEND IT WISELY! JUST SAY " NO " TO MIDEASTERN COUNTRIES

WHO SUPPORT TERRORISM!

 

WE SENT THIS OUT IN MAY OF 2001, AND IT WORKED! THE FOLLOWING WAS SENT BY AN

ECONOMIST WITHIN THE FUEL INDUSTRY. ANOTHER ECONOMICS PROFESSOR AT CAL

REITERATED THE SAME LAST WEEK. I THINK IT IS WORTH TRYING.

 

I got this from a reliable source, and the website listed is legit. We

heard today from a man who is very savvy about the economy, namely: Clark

Howard, and he says that the gas prices are going to start going up again

and will be high this summer -- $2.00 and up. We need to do whatever we

can, and do it NOW!

 

By now, you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.49 is cheap.

Me too, as it is now $1.58 for regular unleaded! Now that the oil companies

and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon

of gas is CHEAP at less than $1.50, we need to try an aggressive response.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take

ACTION!

 

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we don't

buy it. But, (as the gas companies know full well, and are counting on)

that's not really a practical option, since we all have come to rely on our

cars. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together.

 

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, don't purchase gasoline from the

two biggest companies (which now are one) namely: EXXON and MOBIL. You see,

if they are not selling, they should be inclined (i.e., " forced " ) to reduce

their prices. And, because of their size and hence market share, if they

reduce their prices, the other companies will, too. They would have no

choice! Isn't that a " juicy " prospect? But to have an impact, we need to

reach literally millions of users. But it is doable!

 

I am sending this note to 42 people. If each of you send it to at least 10

more ... and those 10 send it to at least 10 more and so on, by the time the

message reaches the sixth iteration, we will have reached over one million

consumers. Acting together, we can make a difference. If this makes sense

to you, please pass this message on (or one you compose) to at least 10 more

e-mail addresses.

 

This makes more sense than the " don't buy gas on a certain day " routine that

was going around last year regarding Gasoline Prices.

 

PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO BELOW $1.28 -- $1.29 AND

KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK! If you're not outraged, you're not

paying attention!

 

UNITED WE STAND! ~ AMERICAN ECONOMICS IN ACTION!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS TO EVERYONE IN YOU

ADDRESS BOOK. AND I DO MEAN ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. YOU

WILL BE AMAZED AT THE RESULTS. THESE TERRORISTS HAVE COST OUR ECONOMY

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS STOP CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR

BANK ACCOUNTS.
