** Note from Webmaster

The above statistics were obtained by eRumors that reflected an e-mail that was circulated in 2000 that suggested Americans should consider only buying gasoline and engine oil products from those companies that had not purchased crude from the Middle East.

They acknowledge, however, there were no published results that could be found that attributed this effort with any success in discouraging the purchase of products from oil companies that were using crude from the Middle East. Click here to see their report.

We thank Jim of NJ for bringing this important matter to our attention. In turn, we have contacted the DOE via e-mail and requested the page where this report would be located for the year 2004, not able to find it through several searches on the DOE's immense and intimidating site.

To see the DEO's report on how boycotting companies that purchase oil from the Arabs can help to free America from their stanglehold on its usage of oil, read its discouraging report below, proving again that freedom is knowledge.
