I dont understand why it gets so high here. I have to believe our oh so great government and stock market are the causes. I just got back from venezuela on buisness and gas was .08 cents a gallon. Ya thats not a typo. I was in shock. I got an email about some gas stations that are 100% American oil. I know Murphy USA is american oil and gas. I started filling up at that station. Screw those other guys. If i'm gonna pay that much for gas i might as well give it back to our own US companies.

Here is the email i got.

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


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
Sonoco...................0 barrels
0ASinclair...................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 barrels
*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. [/quote]

Yes this is all good and dandy in theroy but no matter where you buy fuel its not always gonna be that brand. If the gas station is running low on fuel they'll use who ever can get it there the fastest if there main supplier cant get it there in time and will always do this at nite. Also that list is off of who refines oil in the US. in which case everyone does. My dad has been in the oil biz for 35yrs its all the same no matter where you get it from most of it is a sales gimic

Also some of the company on the list are forgein owned. Like BP (British Protrolem) and I this Shell is a dutch company. Im not saying that the list aint right but no matter where you go fuel is gonna be from any where they can get it. Just my .02
