Greybeard Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 No political statements in this post. This information is something that everyone should know. Oil companies need to report each month to the US Department of Engery where they purchase their oil from. Fox News reported today which five oil companies do not purchase oil from the Middle East. Companies That Do Not Import Oil From The Middle East: Sunoco Citgo ConocoPhillips (76) Sinclair BP What's The Difference? The report stated that the money you spend at gas stations that purchase oil from the Middle East does go to charities in the Middle East that are being fronted by Terrorist groups. Seriously, share this list with everyone. Mobil -- where I used to get gas -- is one of the biggest importers of Middle Eastern oil. 415824[/snapback] How about this arguement. Buy oil only from those companies that buy it outside ot the U.S. Last I knew, oil was a limited resource. It isn't going to last forever. So why not use their's and keep ours. Actually it is really a shame that it is used for transportation. Oil or oil derivatives are used everywhere in our economy. If it gets much more expensive, this may really start showing itself. Oh the money issue. I'll bet they could find thousands of sources for terrorist funds, oil being just one of them.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 I so love to knock back a few diesel and bourbons after work. 415928[/snapback] Some Wild Turkey and a mature Omani Special Blend? Though I hear the '03 vintage North Sea Brent is getting rave reviews...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 The north sea stuff is a little sweet for me. 415979[/snapback] Well, what do you expect? It's a dessert oil.
VABills Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Well, what do you expect? It's a dessert oil. 415981[/snapback] I only using it for cooking.

The first 4 are American owned
Tux of Borg Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I buy my gas from the reservation. I couldn't tell you, nor do I care where they get it from. It's too bad ethanol isn't a reliable source of fuel. The US government wouldn't have to pay farmers anymore. And everything would be grown here in the USA.

Same idea, different fuel...
Campy Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 The first 4 are American owned 416214[/snapback] You might want to double-check that...
taterhill Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Wow, are you in love with me or something? You're scary. Now stop. Or better yet contrinute something other then Losman is great and you're an idiot. Yeah great analysis there. 415908[/snapback] you really have a problem with people stalking you...must be the nonsense you spew
PTS Posted August 24, 2005 Author Posted August 24, 2005 If FOX NEWS reported this today? Might want to check SNOPES before posting. 415853[/snapback] You might want to check the Department of Energy's website. Snopes is actually wrong this time. Which makes me wonder how right they are about other stuff.
kasper13 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I buy my gas and smokes from the Original Americans at the Indian Reservation. Gas is 20 cents a gallon cheaper and smokes are almost 1/3 of the price then anywhere else.
Bear Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Well, what do you expect? It's a dessert oil. 415981[/snapback] It may be that I'm just really tired...but damn that was funny.
txbillsjunkie Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 What the hell is our oil doing under their sand anyway?
Lemur King Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 You might want to check the Department of Energy's website. Snopes is actually wrong this time. Which makes me wonder how right they are about other stuff. 416237[/snapback] I checked the DOE website, and SNOPES used the info from 2002, and it looks right to me.

Dan Gross Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I checked the DOE website, and SNOPES used the info from 2002, and it looks right to me. 416276[/snapback] Yeah, it's not as much "right" as "dated." And in fact, when you look past the actual numbers and (gasp) read why the "plan" is bogus, you'll find this gem: Economics Prof. Pat Welch of St. Louis University says any boycott of "bad guy" gasoline in favor of "good guy" brands would have some unintended (and unhappy) results. Although foreign relations wax and wane, Welch says, the law of supply and demand is set in stone. "To meet the sudden demand," he says, "the good guys would have to buy gasoline wholesale from the bad guys, who are suddenly stuck with unwanted gasoline." So motorists would end up buying Arab oil anyway — and paying more for it, because they'd be buying it at fewer stations. And yes, oil companies do buy and sell from one another. Mike Right of AAA Missouri says, "If a company has a station that can be served more economically by a competitor's refinery, they'll do it." Right adds, "In some cases, gasoline retailers have no refinery at all. Some convenience-store chains sell a lot of gasoline -- and buy it all from somebody else's refinery." St. Louis University's Welch says, "The e-mail presupposes that you know who the supplier is, and that's not always the case."
