>>Shell............................. 205,742,000 barrels
>>Chevron/Texaco.......... 144,332,000 barrels
>>Exxon /Mobil................ 130,082,000 barrels
>>Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels

>>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
>>
>>ARC0......................0 barrels

>>
>>But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers.

>>It's really simple to do.
>>
>>Now, don't wimp out at this point... keep reading and I'll explain how
>>simple it is to reach millions of people!!
>>
>>I'm sending this note to about thirty people.
>>
>>If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those

>>
>>If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each,
>>then 30 million people will have been contacted!
>>
>>If it goes one level further, you guessed it .... THREE HUNDRED MILLION
>>PEOPLE!!!
>>
>>Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people.
>>
>>How long would all that take?
>>
>>If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day, all
>>300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next eight
>>days!
