Thanks for the link. Sadly I don't have access to gas from any of those oil companies.

But when those Blutec superclean diesel engines become more prolific, and in something other than a Mercedes, then I'm buying. Hopefully shortly after that I'll be able to fill-er-up with some good old fashioned American Biodiesel.

I also make a personal statement these days by shunning Citgo. I have no interest in funding Hugo Chavez's communist dictatorship aspirations. Even 7-Eleven says they're switching away from Citgo. But I'll buy it (and believe it) when the signs come down.

I wonder how reliable that site is. Sure a station may say it gets its gasoline from the same refinery, but where is that refinery getting its oil? Oil and other resources are such a globally traded commodity that a station's supply likely does not originate from any one field and probably not from the the same source field(s) two deliveries in a row.

Sites (and similar e-mails) like this remind me of the "Buy American" mantra that use to be popular but now is untenable because of the global nature of production. Satirist Art Buchwald hits this on the head: http://www2.onu.edu/~aalhajji/ibec202/n ... erican.pdf

And now we can even add services to the list of globalized commodities, with the growing offshoring of IT support and programming, customer service centers, debt collection, corporate legal services, human resource services, etc etc. Anymore, I talk to more people in Belfast, Ireland and particularly Mumbai, India on a daily basis than I do people in the U.S., local city included!

Bill - Flying J is all I have and its some distance away.

Glenn - it may a mere empty gesture devoid of real impact at this time, but at the same time placing my hand over my heart whenever the national anthem plays is also a gesture - yet I do it every time.
