[Imc] Fwd: Don't Buy Gas on June 1st

[Mike Lehman]

Independents, and many others, around here get their gas from the
Marathon terminal west of Champaign. It comes from their refinery in
Robinson by pipeline. The Robinson refinery gets theirs by pipeline from
Texas. What relationship Marathon might have to ExxonMobil, I don't
know; the oil business is a famously incestuous one, as the election of
W demonstrates;)
