According to The Free Press
We should be buying our gas from Citgo. Citgo is a U.S. refining and marketing firm that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Venezuela's State-owned oil company. Money you pay to Citgo goes primarily to Venezuela--not Saudi Arabia or the Middle East.

2. maybe you and the others at this link can cancel each other out
http://www.newjerseygasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1172&topic=119798&page_no=1

I tend to buy gas that is the cheapest. WHy would I go out of my way to buy gas that is more expensive?

Show me where helping that company over another company draws a straight line to getting us away from mideast oil or doing anything of value regarding the political picture of the day.

3. It is something we can do!
I don't have to go out of my way, there are 2 Citgo stations around me. These are baby steps we can take if your not ready to give up the car and ride public trasportation.

4. That info is correct, and
I have been exclusively purchasing my gasoline from Citgo.
I much prefer my dollars go to Venezuela where a percentage is dedicated to HealthCare and Education for the poor. The current administration also hates bush* and the republicans, unlike the Saudi Oil Comapnies who directly support Bush* and the BFEE.
