As discussed in the STL Forum:
Oil Companies, why BP?
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 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!!!!! 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 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 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.

Look it up, read it, and learn
