Hmmmm. Just how old is this list exactly? BP bought Amoco several years
ago, and Conoco, Phillips, 76 are now one company. Avoiding oxygenated
fuels is great unless you live in a region where that fuel is Mandated.
The drive to obtain non oxygenated fuel may very well offset any
savings one might hope to obtain. I won't even quibble about the
chain-letter aspect of this post since this has already veered so far
off the Imperial Highway.....................................Alex, 63

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 :
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 $53/barrel, these imports amount to over $35
Million a
day!
Here are some large companies that 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
Of special note here. Be aware of the brand of gas you do choose to
use.
Although some of the above do not import, they DO sell oxygenated gas,
or
put ethanol in their gas, which supposedly makes it burn cleaner, but
at the
sacrifice of economy! If you drive an Imperial, it will cost you more,
so
please check first by reading the pump info. BP/Phillips is a GREAT
Brand.
Stick with that, and you will be safe. Otherwise, plan on a 15-20%
drop in
MPG, and in an Imperial that is going from 10 mpg down to 8 mpg. A big
drop, and a steep increase in cost to run.
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.
If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and
those 300
send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the
time
the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have
reached
over THREE MILLION consumers!
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends
each,
then 30 million people will have been contacted!
If it goes one level further, you guessed it ..... THREE HUNDRED
MILLION
PEOPLE!!!
Which will all be MOOT is nobody actually goes out of their way to buy
from
the non importing oil companies!
So, please do go out of your way a few blocks if need be when you pay
at the
pump. Please, and thank you!
