I hear they buy all their oil/gas from Venezuela. Just my way of supporting Chavez.

4. Not entirely true

While they get most from Venezuala, they don't get it all from there.

Here are some large companies that do not import much Middle Eastern oil:

Citgo 0 barrels of oil
Sunoco 0
Conoco 0
Sinclair 0
Phillips 0
BP Amoco 62,231,000
Wrong again. The DoE tracks oil imports by company each month, and although the raw data are a little hard to follow (fortunately, the DoE also provides an explanation of their symbols), for February 2002 the totals were as follows:

* CITGO is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the national oil company of Venezuela, so naturally most of its crude oil comes from there. However, in February 2002 CITGO also imported from Middle Eastern countries in the following quantities:

Iraq: 1,342,000 barrels
Kuwait: 437,000 barrels

* Conoco imports primarily from Mexico, Venezuela, and Canada, and not from Middle Eastern countries. However, they are planning to merge with Phillips, which does import from Middle Eastern countries (see below).

* BP imports from a variety of oil-producing countries, but in February 2002 BP North America also imported from Middle Eastern countries in the following quantities:

Iraq: 470,000 barrels
Kuwait: 415,000 barrels
Saudi Arabia: 2,123,000 barrels
Algeria: 3,853,000 barrels

5. What about Shell?

Does anyone have any stats on them? They're a Dutch company but am wondering where their source is.

EDIT: Never mind. I just checked your link and they are even worse than ExxonMobil. Ugh...

6. Citgo is owned by Venezuela!

So even if they don't get all their oil from Venezueula, all their profits go to Venezuela.

7. Thanks. I didn't know that

[WMliberal]

8. I couldn't find Wawa

:cry:

I've been buying from Citgo ever since I learned about this stuff in a Latin American Politics class.

9. Middle Eastern Oil doesn't go in our cars.

It's not the right type.
