Time to Take Action

For all of you along the Wasatch Front, buy your gasoline only from Sinclair or Flying J !!!

In the aftermath of Katrina, we find ourselves facing even higher gas prices. It's expected to cost around $3 per gallon by Friday. It's time to take action! I think that we must target certain companies, because, let's face it... Americans simply will not stop driving their vehicles. So keep driving, but only buy gas from certain companies. The main question is which companies to buy from and which to boycott? I propose that we boycott large companies who import a large percentage of crude oil from OPEC countries, especially Middle East countries (who knows what kind of questionable organizations are funded by Middle Eastern $$$). The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is made up of Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.

I took the following statistics from the Department of Energy website. Please visit their website and see the numbers for yourself!

Percentage of crude oil imports from Persian Gulf area:

Exxon/Mobil 26%
Valero 38%
Chevron 38%
Tesoro 14%
Phillips 8%
Conoco 6%
Citgo 1% (almost all their oil comes from Venezuela...also OPEC)
Sinclair 0%
Flying J 0%

Please note that Sinclair and Flying J import only from our neighbors to the north, Canada. They do not import from OPEC countries at all!

Please join me in this fight to lower gas prices. Buy only from Sinclair, Flying J, or other local non-OPEC-supporting company. Come on, how hard is it to fill up somewhere different than you normally do?

CHOOSE YE THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL BUY GAS FROM...AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL BUY SINCLAIR!

This is a fantastic idea. Let's get as many people as we can onboard for this. I propose that we start a pledge drive committing drivers to do this.

If you go to My WikiMap you can log the locations of gas stations in your area along with prices. Enter the tag OPECfree when you do so that we can keep track of where these gas stations are located.
