    Huh? [:^)] So i KNOW the email stating this is false but it got me to thinking . . .

    Are there an US oil companies that do not import oil from Saudi Arabia?  I don't think so but I would LOVE to know.

     

    OH, this is the email that I KNOW IS NOT TRUE!  but it came to me nonetheless Wink

    WHERE TO BUY  AMERICAN GASOLINE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO
    KNOW.  READ ON.

    their profits,
    their livings?  How about leaving American Dollars in
    America and reduce
    the import/export deficit?

      Just purchase gas from companies that don't import their oil from
    the
    Saudis.

    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.

    I'll explain how simple it

    If each of you send it
    to at only 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!!!!!!!

    It's been a while since I got this and checked snopes, but they might have that info in their rebuttal of the email.

    I'm not 100% positive, but I believe United Refining which sells it's gas through Kwik Fill locations does NOT import any oil.

    I was under the impression that we imported more from Canada than Saudi Arabia.

    years ago my cousin worked for Sunoco and they DID import their oil from Pakistan.

    I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't go to the major gas chains listed on the "imported" list anyway.  There gas, at least here in WA, tends to be 5 to 10 cents per gallon higher than where I do choose to go (Arco and on post which I believe comes from Conoco or Flying J).  I just go where it's the cheapest.

    I would like to know why we must pay World Market Price for gas?  THey tell you "well, oil is selling for $120 a barrel, so gas goes accordingly"  Then why oh why, do some countries still pay under $1 a gallon of gas?  They are oil rich countries, that export a lot of oil, but allow their own people to have it for cheap! 

     

    We got people in Cananda's oil fields not able to work, cause they can't sell the oil!  All that oil just sitting there, while others brainwash the country to believe these wells are drying up!  So not only could we have much cheaper oil, there are families suffering cause they are out of work!  Not out of oil.
