[QUOTE="flbullrider, post: 95999, member: 1834"] Not to be a wet blanket here, but this "Where To Buy Your Gas" email may be somewhat bogus: From [url=http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/foreignoil.html]http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/foreignoil.html[/url] "This chain first surfaced in the days following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York City, and Washington D.C. and immediately appealed to the "if it comes from the middle east, it must be connected to terrorism" mentality of the day.
