Possibley of some interest?

Still just a myth; never proven.

 

>>If you go to http://www.sunoco.com/ you will get a list of the
station locations near you.<<

Viral marketing at work. Saw this thread in mass junk email. Is there a box for Junk Threads? We import gas for a reason. What is thread saying, boycott all middle eastern oil? Oh, so Sunoco can then raise it's prices? Ok, will do....

 

As soon as I see this on an email I know it's trash.

 

As soon as I read this point I became suspect. All oil, whether it comes from the Middle East or the coast of California goes onto the world market and when it does it looses its nationality. Oil wholesale suppliers just buy barrels of oil from the cheapest source they can find.

I like the part about specific gravity though.

Have seen this before. Interesting. Thanks for sharing with others.

 

I moved to Sioux Falls SD in June '06, have a Sinclair station a few blocks from my house, & saw they were advertising that they didn't sell middle eastern products. I've been buying thier gas & other simple things, but have always been skeptic. Thanks for the info! What I've always found nice about the Sinclair station though, is this particular one also sells good wine & cigars. Quite the high class place.... ;-)

I have another email, similar to this one.....gonna find it quick & post it up here too.

 

Go to the link 'El Wayne' put up.

 

This is the email I was referring to. Although a very small portion is referring to oil/fuel, the rest really hits home as well. I can't confirm the source, but I've seen/heard Robin Williams saying similar stuff? I'd love to see a president grab his balls & give this speech (Not you, Hillary Clinton). I didn't write this! ;-)

----- WOULDN'T IT BE
GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the
defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.



Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission
in Iraq is complete.



This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces
from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the
reckoning.





Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which
have stood by our side during the Iraq
conflict. This list is short . The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are
some of the countries listed there.



The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's
nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of
both lists later this evening.



Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations
on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first
year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT
WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world
Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.



Need help with a famine ? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France



In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money
toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home . On that note,
a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and
eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.



Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China .



I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France , Germany , and Russia
Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, mez amies.



I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles
located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles
will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty
pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay
those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be
turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York



A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on
List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks
might want to try not pissing us off for a change.



Mexico is also on List 2 its
president and his entire corrupt government really need an
attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry
divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border
security.



Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.



We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take
care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an
environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a
country and move there.



It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of
isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'



Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world
has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It
is time to eliminate hunger in America It is
time to eliminate home lessness in America To
the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't
forget.



To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak
Arabic.



God bless America . Thank you and good night.



If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank
a soldier.



(Please forward this to at least ten friends and see what happens! Let's get
this to every USA computer!)

 

The tanks are: underground, big, and once again UNDERGROUND. The temperature is not going to vary appreciably during a 24 hour cycle. That is
why your great grandfather built his fruit cellar UNDERGROUND. To keep the temperature moderated.

Sounds like BS to me.

I can imagine pretty well, but I can't imagine how the surface area of the fuel balance changes much between 7/8 full, 1/2 full and 1/8 full.
And the surface area exposed to air is what determines the rate of evaporation.

The rest of the post? blah, blah blah

 

But what about 1/8 empty, 1/2 empty and 7/8 empty? Huge difference!

 

Lit cigars and gasoline! Wine and driving! I love Sinclair!!!

The specific gravity part has some truth to it. Where the oil comes from really does not.
