Gas prices in United States... Where to buy American Gasoline

WASHINGTON | Tue Mar 27, 2012 6:14pm EDT
(Reuters) - More than two-thirds of Americans disapprove of the way President Barack Obama is handling high gasoline prices, although most do not blame him for them, according to a Reuters/Ipsos online poll released on Tuesday.

Sixty-eight percent disapprove and 24 percent approve of how Obama is responding to price increases that have become one of the biggest issues in the 2012 presidential campaign.

In the past month, U.S. fuel prices have jumped about $0.30 per gallon to about $3.90 and the Republicans seeking to replace the Democrat in the November 6 election have seized upon the issue to attack his energy policies.

The disapproval reaches across party lines, potentially spelling trouble for Obama in the election, although the online survey showed voters hold oil companies or foreign countries more accountable than politicians for the price spike.

"Obama is getting heat for it but people aren't necessarily blaming him for it," said Chris Jackson, research director for Ipsos public affairs.

Majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independents all disapprove of the president's handling of gas prices, according to the online poll of 606 Americans conducted March 26-27.

BLAMING OIL COMPANIES

Republicans have hit Obama particularly hard for his decision to block TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL Canada-to-Texas pipeline as a sign that his energy priorities are hurting America.

Hoping to placate car-loving Americans, Obama toured U.S. oil country last week to tout his "all of the above" energy strategy that includes room for oil and gas development in addition to support for renewable fuels.

In Oklahoma, he pledged to accelerate approval of the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline. Republicans immediately dismissed the campaign-style stop as a stunt, saying Obama does not have the authority to really jump start the project.

Jackson said Obama has little to fear, at least according to historic trends, from gas prices alone if the U.S. economy continues to recover from deep recession.

Previous spikes in fuel prices have not affected U.S. presidential election results. But economists warn that higher gas prices could slow the overall economy, which would toughen Obama's chances of winning re-election.

WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE. PLEASE READ ON.  

Gas rationing in the 70s worked even though we grumbled about it.  It might  even have been  good for us! 

Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products?  In addition, they are gouging  us on oil prices. 

Shouldn't we return the favor? 

Can't  we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates  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. 

The following gas 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  who's Dictator HUGO CHAVEZ 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"!!!!!!!!  It won't stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we keep buying their product.   

Here are some large  companies to support that DO NOT import Middle Eastern oil:  

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

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

**Sinclair.........................0 barrels  

**BP/Phillips...................0 barrels  

**Hess.............................0 barrels  

**ARC0..........................0 barrels  

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

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

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

  CAMurphy  Oil USA  **.............0 barrels  

*Sold at Wal-Mart.... , 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.  

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.... And if you want to do more, just cut and paste the last part of this page to your email and forward it to a few of your friends and ask them to do so.
