Boycott Citgo Gasoline Stations

[Courdeleon02]

I am calling on all of you to participate in the massive boycott of Citgo Gas Stations throughout this country. Citgo is completely owned by the government of Venezuala and as such is a big revenue producer for Hugo Chavez the Dictator of that nation. Michael Savage has called on internet bloggers across this nation to participate in the boycott and to get the word out to the American people. The MSM has not and will not report the association between Chavez and Citgo. This is a good way all of us can do something to fight back against this insane monster of man.

Fox is actually doing a pretty good job of pointing this out.

[The Blitherer]

Maybe we can get Code Pink to help us. I know how much they hate the oil companies. /s

[martin_fierro]

What a novel idea.

[adam_smith_76]

I've been boycotting Citgo for a long time now. They're American owned, but they deal with the Devil.

Venezuala

They changed the spelling of the country? ;)

[madmominct]

No problem. I've been boycotting Citgo for a year or so - ever since I found out the gas was Venezuelan. Trouble is, not enough people realize it.

[CremeSaver]

I do already. Not a penny for this thug or his country.

A pointless idea that shows just how little we understand just how dependent we are on thugs to meet our energy needs....but it does sell commercials.

I realize your intent, but boycotting Citgo will also hurt those Americans who own and work for these service stations, the truck drivers who deliver the fuel, the companies that supply the merchandise sold inside the station's shops, etc.
This is why I do not agree with boycotts.

[Gummi Bear]

I already do, but it never hurts to remind people about CITGO again.

URGENT: I have heard that CITGO is on to the boycott and is changing hundreds of stations to the new name "Petro Express". Can anyone confirm this?

[nutmeg]

THANK YOU for this thread. Citgo stations are all over New England, and the closest gas station to my house here in CT is a Citgo station. (Fortunately there are a couple of Gulf stations in the area as well)

I've been boycotting Citgo for nearly a year now, since I learned of the Citgo / Nutcase Chavez connection.

Does anyone know if there are any "Boycott Citgo" bumper stickers?

[TChris]

There are no Citgo stations in my area. I can't remember ever buying fuel from them. Guess I beat y'all to the punch on the boycott. :-)

[Courdeleon02]

Actually they are not American owned.They are 100% owned by the government of Venezuela and that is essentially Hugo Chavez and his gang of communist thugs. Unfortunately this fact is not widely known because it has been suppressed by the MSM.

[Spktyr]

That's easy. I haven't bought CITGO gas since before Hugo took over - their fuel is crap; it burns dirty and clogged my fuel injectors.

[TomGuy]

A caller to Savage claimed that Citgo stations where changing their names in his area. [I didn't hear him identify his area.]

Caller said they were changing to Petrol Express.

Petro Express website claims PE is locally owned and operated.

Whether PE has purchased the stations or whether the parent corporation has created a dummy company, I don't know.

FYI

Haven't seen any Citgo's here in eastern PA. This is Exxon-Mobil country.

You should forward this to the US Navy, as all the bases in the Tidewater area exclusively are Citgo. Lots and lots of sailors, marines and civilians use them daily. They are always cheaper and more convenient than those off-base.

Unless you can see a Citgo refinery from your house, you are not necessarily getting gasoline from Citgo. All of the refineries on the Gulf coast use the same pipelines. Company A puts X gallons in at one point, company B puts Y gallons in at another. At the other end, it get distributed to both independent and A and B points of sale. It is still a good thing to avoid the Citgo products, but quality is not the issue.
