The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

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. 
   
   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 who's Dictator Hugo Chavez 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 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.REMEMBER,  ALL GAS IS THE SAME.
   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.  Now, don't WIMP out at this point.... Keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

   
   

   And here is a news item from the week of December 26, 2010.  The CEO of Shell Oil said gas prices may reach $5.00 per gallon by 2012.  That is just 1 year from now. So don't complain if you don't co-operate. Just buy these American listed gas from the above and send the message to abroad and our government.

This is good info to know. I always buy from Conoco no matter the price difference. We just need to stop importing all oil and start drilling here. My buddy lives just down the street from a Sinclair refinery and they have such an overstock of Diesel they are just burning it off by the ton.  :yikes: If we all realise that if diesel prices would go down our consumables would also go down. Because there isnt one consumable that doesn't get brought in on either a DIESEL ran train or truck. Common sense America!!!! Come on now!!! :idiot: :bash:

This would make sense if oil was not traded on a world market, but it is.... So tough :pokinit: for us.

Oil will continue to cost the price set on the world market regardless of orgin

Ladies & germs, we have a winner.  :yesnod:

The one thing that *might* improve the situation is if speculators were not able to artificially fix prices higher than what would otherwise be dictated by supply & demand.  :twocents:

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

If I remember correctly when the price hit this level under Bush he was already making moves to help the situation. Obamanation for some reason is not doing a damn thing and actually thinks it will be good for the nation. Isn't it funny that someone in the oil industry could see that it would be a bad thing and one doesn't?

Of course it's good for the nation.The speculators are making a fortune.

Oh boy, now the Feds are gonna look onto the situation to make sure there's no profiteering goin' on out there.

Grab your socks, folks. For any young'uns who may not know, when the Feds jump in to make things all better, you can usually count on a big price hike.  :ack:
