What is your Gas Station’s Social Responsibility?
I would like to introduce you to a nifty chart I recently came across. It is a ranking system of the Social Responsibly of many gas stations. Each station is assigned a rating based on several criteria including Refining Eco rating, Global Warming pluses and minus, and accident/incident history. The chart is part of the Better World Handbook and claims to use over 20 different sources to compile their rankings. While there are a few blanks spots in some of the companies’ ratings, the chart is still a great place to examine the different gas
stations that may be available to you.
The chart can be found at http://www.betterworldhandbook.com/gasoline.html
If you combine the Social Responsibility chart with fuel price comparisons site such as gasbuddy.com, or GasPriceWatch.com, you can find the cheapest and most eco-friendly gas available to you. Hopefully now you can save a little money and lessen your environmental impact while driving.
It is also worth noting that ExxonMobil received an F on the chart with a score of -45 and just recently had another oil spill of the Texas coast on Jan 24th. Click for the news article.
