That's good, as they are usually 3-10cents cheaper than off base and lot's of sailors can use the extra money.
I live in Michigan. There are thousands of 7-11s here - I've never seen one that sells gas.
Not that I've seen - maybe out in the country, but not in the urban areas. Although anymore, the newer gas stations are as big as supermarkets used to be - you could actually buy most of your groceries at Mobil, BP, Sunoco, Marathon or Shell.
Thanks. I was reading something just a short while back about an area that didn't allow self serve gasoline pumps. I don't remember where it was but seems they were going to have an election to attempt to change the ordinance. Just wondering if that may have been in your area.
Have a nice day.
Well that explains why my local CITGO pumps all have the yellow jacket.
D.G., I know you've been watching this fiasco with some interest...
The bottom line is that Chavez is happy to supply Americans with gasoline produced at his refineries in the US and sells at a profit. He's unwilling to buy gasoline produced at other American refineries which also sells for the same profit. He equates buying American as a "subsidy", which shows you how shallow his economic intellect is.
Non-sequitur. Who said anything about a command-driven economy?
I gotta see this.
I'm sure the Starbuck's crew loves it. They get all those joggers and businesspeople in there - they need to have a little fun.
See Ya !!! I stopped going to Citgo years ago ...
7-11 (The Southland Corporation) is the former owner of Citgo. Southland Corp purchased what is now known as Citgo (Cities Services back then) back in 1965, sold 50% to PDVSA in the early 80's and sold the remaining % in the early 90's.
