Does Caseys buy foreign oil

Yes, but they work to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and reduce emissions by pushing for increased investments in hybrid and alternative fuel technology. Such new technology will create more U.S. jobs and protect the environment.

Actually, there is no real reduction in foreign oil dependency using hybrids or alternative fuels. Caseys has no choice but to buy foreign oil as that is where the bulk of our oil comes from. These new technologies will cost us additional fuel, but do certainly vreate many new and good paying jobs and futher our deoendency on foreign oil. It takes about 1.5 gallons of diesel and 200 gallons of water to create a gallon of ethanol, hardly cost affective and certainly very bad for our environment. The total fuel burn of 1 gallon of diesel works out to 2.5 gallons of total fuel and a reduction in food for cattle.

Foreign oil is a needed issue until we start allowing drilling witin our country. No alternatoive fuels will ever help this issue. Wind and solar are even further out there as possible energy sources.
