It’s time for the 20TH edition of the continuing tradition that is – the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’. I don’t have any cute pictures of MASSIVE cats or dogs that don’t really exist, or fake tornadoes near oil rigs. This one is a total gas – literally. This is the one that everyone will be talking about around the copy machine tomorrow morning:
Subject: FW: Where to buy American Gasoline
WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON.
Gas rationing in the 70’s worked even though we grumbled about it.
It might even have been good for us !
Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products ? In addition, they are gouging us on oil prices. Shouldn’t we return the favor ? Can’t we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates their profits, their livings ? How about leaving American Dollars in America and reduce the import/export deficit ? An appealing remedy might be to boycott their GAS.
Every time you fill up your car you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just purchase gas from companies that don’t import their oil from the Saudis.
Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up my tank, I’m sending my money to people who I get the impression want me, my family and my friends dead.
The following gas 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
And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela by Dictator Hugo Chavez who hates America and openly avows our economic destruction ! (We pay Chavez’s regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues !)
The U.S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $100 per barrel, that’s over $550 million PER DAY ($200 BILLION per year !) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies!!!!! It won’t stop here – oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we keep buying their product.
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Sunoco……………………….0 barrels
Conoco……………………….0 barrels
Sinclair……………………….0 barrels
BP/Phillips…………………..0 barrels
Hess. ………………………..0 barrels
ARC0…………………………0 barrels
Maverick…………………….0 barrels
Flying J. ……………………..0 barrels
Valero………………………..0 barrels
Murphy Oil USA* …………..0 Sold at Wal-Mart, gas is from South Arkansas and fully USA owned and produced. Not only that but they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens.
All of this information is available from the U.S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.
But to have a real impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. With the help of the internet, it’s really simple to do …
Numerous variants of this Internet hoax have been widely circulating since December 2001. As you’ve already figured out there is very little factual information within this E-Mail.
Read more about it here and here, and when you receive an obvious Internet hoax via your E-Mail Inbox don’t waste your time with it. Hit that {DELETE} key, and be done with it right then and there !
