So . . . This is a snippet of some info from an email I received the other
day. I donıt pretend to know all the nuances of oil in the world economy,
or in terms of moral/ethical issues whether it ³matters² what our sources
for oil are. But if you want to work toward reducing reliance specifically
on Middle Eastern oil, this could be a place to begin. Note: I have not
visited the DoE web site, so I canıt confirm this data.

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.
Some major 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
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
ARC0......................0 barrels
