BP doesn't rely on Middle East imports of oil. They use U.S. reserves.

I know it's more money in the short-run; But, I buy BP gas whenever I can. Once gas prices reach a certain level, it will become feasable for all U.S. oil companies to refine our own U.S. reserves of oil. Then prices should stabilize and we will no longer be dependant on foriegn reserves. In the past, OPEC has successfully capped prices at just below the "feasablity" level. Hopefully this time that will not happen. If we can endure, we may someday be free from OPEC! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
