FYI, the Gas Dilemna

Some may not have received the email about how to buy gas. Did you know it's best to fill up (slowly) in the early morning. Gas is more dense at a low temperature. Pump slowly so as not to create excessive vapor return. Here's a list provided by the Department of Energy that tells where companies purchase their fuels.

Companies that 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

Citgo gas is from South America , from a Dictator who hates Americans. Don't buy
from CITGO.

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

Thanks Marti for the great email! Another site that may interest you is HERE. While Obama is hobnobbing in the middle east John McCain is actively pursuing an end to these ridiculous fuel prices. Put aside your political prejudice and take a look. Oh yeah, where's Obama's plan? Anyone seen it?!?!?!
