I had a Target credit card so I could get the extra savings they offered, that is until I called their customer service line and found out they outsource overseas, India I think.

I guess there are always the microbreweries. And domestic wineries, too. Beer and wine will never be as fungible as gasoline, hopefully... the varieties are nice.

We have a locally owned and operated brewry company here in the Kansas Ciry area. It is called Boulevard Beer-very good variety of beer.

We try to buy American made -if at all possible. I just wish I could see the `made in America` tag on more items.

Having 2 family members lose their jobs to out-sourcing-I refuse to talk to anyone from a foreign country-when i am needing assistance and will complain to the store or company that sent my call to another country.

I know Americans can make all these products much better than they are now made-in China, Japan and so on.

We were on vacation up north last summer and we saw a gas station with a sign--`American gasoline, American owned and operated`. Anyone know about this business.

Customer service outsourcing has pretty well become the norm for big corps. Even our largest telephone company has done the same here.

Way to go Ricky.......
A simple approach may be to mandatory put next to the price on an item where it was made,in the same size print as the price!....... This way we're not offending anybody as all are equal and we can choose how we want.

I think the refinery in Sinclair Wyoming is their refinery,not too many stations that I know of but they do have tank trucks on I80 in Wyoming.

What amazes me is we are now importing food from CHINA and other Asian countries. Look at the frozen fish and shrimp for sale in WalMart etc., a lot of it is imported from Asia. Besides frozen shrimp having no flavor, I wouldn't trust the quality. Remember all the recalled toys and jewelry containing lead and cadmium - you want to buy FOOD from those same countries?

Mt Dad used to have a Sinclair Station back in the mid 50's and hearing that name brought back some memories.

Hi: All...We now have to pay more attention to food labels for health reasons. You find out all kinds of stuff!!! Like pickles from India? Their growing climate's good 365 days/yr. but their picking labour's way cheaper than ours.

A visit to the Sinclair website shows they still have quite a few stations in the Western US including Colorado. And they also own other stuff like Sun Valley Resort in Idaho. And they own Little America on I-80 in Wyoming.

My family was in the oil industry for years, going back to about 1914. Our tank farms, which we sold to Ashland/Marathon, were in the pipelines. MOst of the differences in light oil products like gasoline are hyperbole.

In 2003, I opened a music store and folk music school. Many of the instruments and accessories are not made in North America anymore. For guitars, you have Godin and Larivee in Canada. Martin, Taylor, and Gibson are in the USA. But, these companies only cover about 1% of the guitar market; the rest are built in Asia (mostly). The same statistics are there for straps, strings, cases, stands, mics, Amp systems, etc.
