Pro-Venezuelan/Anti-Saudi gas companies

[ButterflyBlood]

I read in LBN that Citgo is a good gas company that buys much oil from Venezuela and Chavez and little from the Middle East, and thus Bush's terrorist loving friends the Saudis. My hometown is full of Citgos, but unfortunately the one where I live now is not. The gas station we're full of here is Kwik-Trip. Who owns them and where do they get their gas, progressive countriesor the pro-Bush terrorists? And what are some more such companies?

What I do know is that Shell, Chevron and Amoco are big Saudi exporters, hence I stay away from them.

1. I participate in the buy-cott.

I stop at Citgo. It's usually a bit cheaper than the other stations, anyway; but I'd pay more to support Venezuela, rather than the Bushistas and the Exxon/Mobil anti-environment conspiracy.

2. The way I understand it, Citgo is owned by Venezuela and sells...

...only Venezuelan petroleum products. The Citgo web site has a station finder tool. There are no Citgo stations here, either, but I found out that several of the 7-11s in my area sell Citgo gas.

3. from what i understand

and i hope/wish i were wrong, is that the gasolines are all blended at some point. There's really no pure Venezuelan/Saudi gas companies to support or boycott.

like i said, i hope/wish i am wrong.

not to say i don't try to limit my automotive use, and i only buy from the lowest priced station in support of their effort to hold the price down, and tell them so when i buy it.
And prices are usually held under some control by (whatever) price control. Recently a new station started a gas war here in our parts, and they were slammed by other stations that accused them of selling below the controlled set-price.

fwiw.
