Got Gas?

Tired of untold billions going in the pockets, or robes, of Middle East Princes, that may or may not be supporting terror?

Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Middle East countries by not buying gas from stations that buy from the Middle East.

Major companies that DO import Middle Eastern oil:

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:

BP/Phillips

Citgo

Sunoco

Conoco

Sinclair

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on a monthly basis.
