I live in Laredo, Texas, border city with Mexico. Hottest city in Texas. I live in the south side, that is, the poor and rough part of town.[8\|]

Hey, don't get me wrong! I love and enjoy my H2. I'ts a pleasure to drive it and I wouldn't have it any other way. I also enjoy all the head-turning. I also don't mind the gas prices especially here in my town where they are cheaper than average.
You gotta understand that an H2 here is a status symbol and only professionals (such as doctors) and drug dealers own h2's here (and I don't think anyone of them will go off roading), no soccer moms. I'm the exception, I'm a blue-collar tech. 
Hey efrain, what do you do for work?

I'm a phone technician, I install and repair phone lines; work for SBC, in fact my H2's license plate reads: SBC.COM, needless to say, I'm well-paid.

Yeah! Cingular is like the stepchild of SBC, our union members working for Cingular are always getting screwed. Good luck there.

I saw this on a forum "Autopia" that I frequently visit. I assume the source has accurate information. Very interesting
"I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil :
Arab oil:
Shell............................ 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway... .117,740,000 barrels
Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!
Remember It's about $60/barrel now so it's around $36 BILLION!!!
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Other oil:
Citgo.......................0 barrels
Sunoco...................0 barrels
Conoco...................0 barrels
Sinclair....................0 barrels
BP/Phillips...............0 barrels
Hess........................0 barrels
ARCO......................0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing."

Sad to say but this article is flawed. For example, Citgo is Venezuelan oil, and if you keep up with the news, you'd know that Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president is extremely anti-U.S, anti-Bush. If I were to follow the advice of this article I would only be able to go to Conoco (that's excluding the Citgo too) being that the ones that supposedly don't import from the middle east, don't exist in my city.
