Supporting the economy. best place for gas?

[ryan2022]

Hi guys, may be a goofy question. Are there companies that are better than others for supporting the economy in North America?

Basically looking at companies with less reliance of foreign suppliers? I just bought a Jeep, and will be going through a lot mroe gas than I was before!

Keep in mind I'm in canada, so theres no Mobil stations or Texaco's.

Irving oil is based out of the east coast, they have a refinery there, so that would be supporting a Canadian company. Petro-Canada is a Canadian company that mines tar sands, and is a pioneer in developing fields off the east Coast, so supporting them would help, too!

Thanks for the help. I figure I might as well make my lousy MPG something positive.

...Now to convince the tax man its a charitable donation when I file my taxes. Thats a long shot.

Conocco/Phillips 66/Union 76 is American petroleum and is 'Top Tier' as well as Marathon is American refineries I believe. Shell, Citgo, Thus the reason I stay away from the other players in my area. Im not 100% sure on BP/Arco, but I think their gas sux so I didnt bother to look into it.

I'll give the Citgo products a pass. Hugo Chavez can kiss my imperialistic "you know what"...

Arab gas any better?

At least my Japanese truck has kept many dollars out of the hands of Hugo and the Arabs.

Since most of our oil comes from Alaska, Canada and Mexico, I couldn't care less about the camel-korps, either. All the shyte we're going through, to ensure the flow of oil out of the Middle-East, is primarily of benefit to those whiny European ingrates.

I wonder if the U.S.dollar has something to do with the whatever reason we are spending trillions in Iraq.
