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...

The group of arab nations exporting oil is called OPEC. They may have raised prices on oil, but the rate at which the US fuel market taxes the oil is the real ripoff. Oil from OPEC is still the cheapest and best source for oil in the world. On average, each barrell coming out of OPEC is about $16 per barrell, and oil from west Texas is about 14.75 per barrell (but they don't import it) each barrell holds 42 gallons that means you should be paying 38 cents per gallon if they were non-profit. So if you look at it in perspective, the United States uses 19.7 million BARRELLS per day, each barrell at 1.50/gallon is a oh well, you do the math
