Where to buy American Gasoline?

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 product.  

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 vows 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 
Sinclair..........................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  

These are all 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. REMEMBER, ALL GAS IS THE SAME. 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. Gas news from the week of December 26, 2010 says that, "The CEO of Shell Oil said gas prices may reach $5.00 per gallon by 2012". That is just ONE year from now. So don't complain if you don't cooperate. Just buy these American listed gas from the above and send the message to abroad and out government.

Firefox 4

Firefox 4 is out, and it's got a lot going for it, including a more minimalistic interface, synchronization, and a serious speed increase. Here is what you have to look forward to in Firefox 4. Firefox is now far more pixel friendly browser. It has moved the tabs to the top of the window, which saves a ton of space though you can put them back on the bottom (if you prefer). 



It's even saved a bit of horizontal space in the toolbar, moving the reload and stop buttons into your address bar and making it one small condensed button. It might throw you off a bit at first, but it's really nice to have that clean toolbar. New notebook owners will be happy with the new Firefox 4. Mozilla knows you love tabbed browsing, and it shows in Firefox 4. Some of the biggest feature improvements have to do with how you manage your tabs, not the least of which is the great Tab Panorama organization window. It's basically a little window that shows a visual layout of your open tabs and lets you organize them by task. You can even open only one group at a time, so Firefox saves your other groups but doesn't clutter your tab bar with them.
I love how Chrome Sync works so seamlessly. Firefox has now introduced a Sync component of it's own. this is a pretty nice feature for the preference syncing alone. Now, when you get a new computer or do a reinstall, you don't have to setup Firefox the way you like it—all your preferences will be immediately synced there. Although, I am certainly going to stick with Lastpass for my password management tool. Firefox has made some significant improvements to theres that may sway some newcomers or for those that dare to try it out.
