Someone just sent me this: I don't know if this info is factual but it is interesting.

Mod Edit.....
This is in fact not true as posted on snopes... http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/saudigas.asp

PLEASE think before posting this stuff... 3 seconds of google searching would have reveled this was false..





PS. Support the troops!!!!


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

Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products?

Shouldn't we return the favor? Can't we take control of our own destiny
and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generate s 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. Don't you think it might be of
interest to know which oil companies import Middle Eastern oil and which
do not?

These 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!) SOLD AT
7-ELEVEN STORES

The U.S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from
OPEC. If you do the math at $95 per barrel, that's over $524 million
PER DAY ($191 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose
members are our confirmed enemies!!!!!

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
ARCO.......................... 0 barrels

Maverick...................... 0 barrels

Flying J. ...................... 0 barrels

Valero.......................... 0 barrels

Murphy Oil USA sold at Wal-Mart is from South Arkansas and owned USA .
Not only that 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.

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!!

I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to
at only 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-the entire
population of the United States of America!!!!

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

from what Ive read, the Saudi's are getting equally pissed at rising oil and energy prices, and plan to meeting to discuss the rising prices with oil consuming countries and try to help fix the problem.

EQUALLY pissed? I find that highly doubtful. I'm not saying that they don't have their own set of problems, but being on the receiving end of the money fixes a lot of that for them.
