Um….

Nice marketing ploy. Meaningless, if you bother to read the article, however:

Group begins 'terror-free' oil sales

OMAHA, Neb. - Claiming U.S. dollars used to purchase gasoline made from Middle East oil funds terrorism, a group called the Terror-Free Oil Initiative opened the nation's first "terror-free" gas station.

The Coral Springs, Fla.-based group opened its first station Thursday in west Omaha, seeking to sell only gas that originates from countries that do not support terrorism and from oil companies that don't do business in the Middle East.

Sinclair Oil Corp., which operates truck stops and gas stations throughout the Midwest and the West, will be the initial supplier, said Terror-Free Oil spokesman Joe Kaufman.

Dalton Kehlbeck, a regional manager for Salt Lake City-based Sinclair, said most of the company's oil comes from the U.S. or Canada, but some is bought on the New York Mercantile Exchange, where oil from all over the world is traded.

"It's a basket of crude oil," he said of the exchange oil. "We cannot be sure where the conglomeration of the product comes from."

I'm all for not sending money to terror supporting states, believe me. But this is kind of silly, isn't it? Oil is fungible. What we do not use from terror supporting states will be purchased by other nations. If everyone stopped buying any crude oil product from the Middle East, the price of "non-terror"oil would skyrocket. And if the "non-terror" gas stations take off, who is to say the suppliers wont meet demand with "terror" oil?
