Because they are socialist, government owned by the Venezuelan government,

Ooohh-kay.

But the Venezuelan stuff burns so good in GM (Government Motors)
products....

Hugo Chavez once offered to sell oil to America, cheap/low price oil.

BP...with the so-called "Queen" a major stockholder...needs us to send a

Frankly, this will hurt the little guy who owns your local station, and
their employees much more than it'll hurt BP.

The way it works in Connecticut (and probably in most parts of the
country) is there are central terminals where they have huge tanks. When a
tanker comes in, it fills whatever tank(s) have room, and whoever supplied
the gas gets paid. When a tank truck comes in to get gas for delivery to
your local station - no matter what brand it is, it's filled from whatever
tank they're currently emptying.

The difference is each brand has their own additives, so before they fill
up the tank truck with maybe 10k gallons, they put in a tiny amount of the
brand specific additives. (Kinda like adding salt to a hamburger)

Most of BP's money comes from filling the tanks before the gas is branded.

Hi Mark,

Finally....finally....finally! Somebody who knows how oil is moved, refined
then sold on the open market. Boycotting BP will be as effective as
boycotting McDonalds. As the saying goes....it ain't gonna work kids. I
don't like what I see in the Gulf either but it comes down to the fact that
we are an energy consuming nation......fossil fuel energy. We will never be
able to "completely" ween ourselves off of oil no matter how much we cut
back. We still need oil for lubrication and most importantly......PLASTICS!
That's right. Anything you see of plastic, whether hard or soft, it came
from oil. All of your synthetic fabrics are from oil as well.

Some are wondering, what about the recycling? It's all good too but how
does the recycled material get to its main destination? Hmmmm....trucks.
And they run on diesel, which is lower refined oil. So no matter how you
slice it, energy in fossil fuel form is needed for today's economic engine,
as well as the future.

Gulf oil spill could have been sealed in 8 hours anytime

It isn't a spill,,, it is a Gusher.

I assure you, if Americans boycotted every BP station, in fact EVERY
DAMNED BRITISH PRODUCT OR SERVICE it would get their attention. BP's
attitude from the start has been arrogant and unsympathetic and every
American should be outraged.

You've just described the Obama administrator reaction to this.

And you know this - how?

Look up how many vacations Barry has been on since the explosion.

So - how big a proportion of extracted oil is used for things other
than fuel? And how much is incinerated into the air?

If nobody buys BP oil, you can bet BP will get the message when their
sellers don't want their stock.

Our recycling trucks here run on landfill LNG, not diesel. They could
easily run on other things too, as long as somebody can see past the
end of their nose and this year's immediate bottom line.

Big deal. IF he, or any president, avoided vacations whenever any
crisis occurred, most of them would never leave the White House. You
take a tiny slice of his tenure and make believe that's the norm? God
almighty, look at what Bush did - he bicycled and brush-cleared hsi
way through the Presidency...

======================
Yes but I notice your lack of outrage here. Of course it would be altogether
different if we had a Republican prez right now. If it wisent for the lefts
double standard, they would have no standards.

Thanks for the info. BTW, today's NYTimes has an artcile
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/26/us...nergy.html?hpw on how
BP donated US$500M to LBNL and UC during Steven Chu's tenure there,
and how he hired Steven Koonin from BP to be his deputy at DOE.
