Dear Cape May Friends - I wanted to pass this short read along for your to review. Have a great day!

I don’t know what you guys are paying for gasoline…. but here in California we are also paying higher, up to $3.50 per gallon. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money’s worth for every gallon. Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose , CA we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium grades. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.

Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening….your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.

A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps. When you’re filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some other liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you’re getting less worth for your money.

One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULLor HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is
actually the exact amount. Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up — most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom. Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.

DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS!

WHERE TO BUY USA GAS — THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON …

Gas rationing in the 80’s worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even be good for us! The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should return the favor. An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don’t import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. 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. These companies import Middle Eastern 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

Citgo gas is from South America, from a dictator who hates Americans. If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (Oil is now $90-$100 a barrel)

Here are some large companies that do NOT import Middle Eastern oil:

Sunoco………………0 barrels

Conoco…………….. 0 barrels

Sinclair………………0 barrels

BP/Phillips………….0 barrels

Hess…………………0 barrels

ARC0………………..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.

Trenton, NJ - New Jersey Republican State Committee Chairman Tom Wilson issued the following statement today.“Rising gas prices are stressing the finances of New Jersey families and threatening our summer tourism industry. John McCain’s plan to suspend the gas tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day will result in an immediate eighteen cent reduction in prices and give our families some much needed help. Senator McCain’s proposal will help lower the cost of gas and diesel fuel. That means lower costs for drivers and also lower costs for food and other consumer goods that depend on trucks to get those products to stores.

Tourism is the second biggest industry in New Jersey and summer tourism depends on people getting in their car and driving to our beaches, parks and attractions. If it costs too much to get there, people won’t go and that will have a horrific ripple effect on a state economy that has been devastated by massive Democrat tax hikes. A summer gas tax holiday isn’t just good for families, it’s critical to the economy of New Jersey.

The Democrats who control Congress – Senator Lautenberg, Congressman Andrews among them – need to step up and make it clear that New Jersey’s economy is more important than presidential campaign politics. Senator Clinton has signaled a willingness to support John McCain’s proposal, while Senator Obama has flatly rejected it. Oddly, Senator Obama, citing the ‘huge hike” in gas prices in 2000, supported a gas tax holiday as an Illinois legislator. Now he’s playing politics instead of doing what’s right.

Our Democratic Senators and Congressmen need to make it clear whether they support John McCain’s call for much needed gas tax relief. All of them talk about tax relief for the middle class. The gas tax takes a big bite out of the paycheck of a middle class New Jersey family. John McCain’s gas tax holiday will provide real relief, real quick.”

As Chairman for the Cape May County Republicans, I would invite you to visit www.lobiondoforcongress.com. On the website, you will be able to watch Congressman LoBiondo’s Campaign Rally speech and a testimonial from Atlantic County GOP Chairman Keith Davis. You can view them on the Online Media page on the right hand side of the front page. Congress LoBiondo’s campaign team will be adding more videos and testimonials so make sure you check back often.

In the meantime, I hope you have a great day and check back soon for more updates.
