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: 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.

im going to do a lil quick research myself and see any other info i can dig up...

I have never bought petrol from Shell... Never really liked them.

I used to go to Mobil a fair bit, until I heard that they use shale oil in their petroleum products.

There is only one place to get shale oil in Australia and they are one of the main contributors to the bleaching of the coral reefs (from one of the by-products of shale oil mining/refining) up in Queensland.

BP are the only oil company that have committed to not using shale oil anytime in the future. Hence I only buy from BP and I only buy 98 RON ULP (Ultimate 98) or 95 RON PULP (Premium) only if there is no ultimate.
