Where To Buy Us Produced Gas

[OldCrLvr]

This has been around my e-mail inbox a couple times. I figured I would post it. I'm always looking to by US products.

 

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.

 

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!)[

 

 

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.

 

 

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

 

Sunoco...........................0 barrels

Conoco..........................0 barrels

0ASinclair.....................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 [url="http://www.walmart.com/", 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..

That's pretty good information but I don't buy it 100%. Unless you go to the refinery and get your gas there you really have no idea where your gas comes from, and that is if you can tell what refinery is using what crude. Not to mention Wal-Mart buys its fuel on the open wholesale market, so they don’t know where it comes from just that they get it as cheap as possible.

Does anyone know where the oil comes from if not from OPEC? Im thinking that it does not come from the US.

 

I have always considered Shell and Mobile to be the best quality fuel available, anyone have comments on that?

More than likely, the gasoline you buy comes to the distribution point by underground pipeline. It's all the same in the big pipe, so all you can really do is support the local retailers that buy from U.S. producers. Kinda like going to Walworld and trying to buy only "Made in USA" products.

Ill give you a hint. Your largest energy supplier is to the north of you.

If you are burning E85, you aren't burning much imported oil- and probably helping support refineries in this country-

I guess i possed that question wrong, I am just saying there is no proof that we are using oil that came from the ground in the US.

 

I am well aware that companies take XXX amount out of the pipeline and are to put XXX back in, so really there is no way to know where the oil comes from. its just like turning on your kitchen faucet, you can fill up all the glasses you want, as long as you pay the bill keep filling!

So is this email that old, or was whoever set it up just to lazy to do actual math. Or maybe counted on people having no clue what the price of oil is.

I think I first saw it a year ago or more and it looks to be that same exact one. So the prices would be out dated.

 

I understand the whole tapped into the pipeline comment and can't shed too much light on how the crude oil is moved and where it goes. But there is some drilling here. My wife's dad's side of the family has some oil fields in California. Not sure if they truck or pipe it or who they sell it to. I should ask. It would be interesting to know.

[d3athsong]

I would imagine there are plants nearby. It is mainly natural gas here where I am, and that all goes via pipline to various plants. They are always changing hands though, so it is kind of hard to keep track of who owns what.

I asked my Grandfather in law and he said that the oil that his brother pumps is taken way in a truck. But he doesn't know where or what happens to it from there.

Murphy USA is a great company. They're based out of El Dorado, AR and recruited heavily at the university I went to. A few years back, they started the El Dorado Promise, which will pay for college for every kid to graduate from high school there. Full tuition paid.

 

Anyway, I'd highly recommend doing business with them. I can't speak for how much of their oil is local or foreign, but I do know that they do get much of their oil from the local oil companies.

My only choices from the above list are Shell & Conoco/Phillips. Needless to say I get my fuel from Conoco Phillips.

According to the website for that group, Conoco/Phillips is not 100% American.

I am not so much worried about terrorism. I just like to support US companies. I didn't mean for it to be a huge deal.
