Got this in an e-mail the other day- ****** Don't know if this would make a difference but wouldn't you feel empowered if it did. Connie GASOLINE SOLUTION! We CAN buy gasoline that's not from Middle East. The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should return the favor. An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 - 8/31/01): 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 If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! 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 All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing on a monthly basis.

They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
