Not that I don't agree with the sentiment, before sending something this
inflammatory one should check his/her facts.
This is a HOAX.

Subject: [Audi-VW-Diesels] Gasoline Companies to Boycott

This will make you think twice before you buy gas

The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should
return the favor.
An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS. Every
time you fill up
the car, you can avoid putting more money into the
coffers of Saudi
Arabia.
Just buy from gas companies that don't import their
oil from the
Saudis.

Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that
every time I fill-up
the tank, I am sending my money to people who are
trying to kill me, my
family, and my friends. I thought it might be
interesting for you to know
which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and
which major companies
import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 -
8/31/01):

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

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount
to over $18
BILLION!

Here are some large companies that do not import
Middle Eastern oil:

Citgo....................0 barrels
Sunoco............. ..0 barrels
Conoco............. ..0 barrels
Sinclair............... 0 barrels
BP/Phillips.......... 0 barrels
Hess...................0 barrels

All of this information is available from the
Department of Energy and
each is required to state where they get their oil and
how much they are
importing.

They report on a monthly basis. Keep this list in your
car; share it
with friends. Stop paying for terrorism.............

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally
millions of gas
buyers.

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!!

I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each
of you send it to
at least 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! If those three million get excited and pass
this on to ten
friends each, then 30 million people will have been
contacted! If it
goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE
HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people.
How long would
all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to
ten more people
within one day all 300 MILLION people could
conceivably be contacted within
the next eight days .
