Purchasing your gas from companies that don’t import oil from the Mid East will lower the overall cost of gas – only if done in large numbers!
Companies that 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

If you live in Boise; your best bet is 7-Eleven, Stinker & Smokin Hot Deals gas stations – they server up Citgo and Sinclair gas.
