Citgo the company is US owned. The oil fields are owned by Venezeula. They were nationalized, developed by American companies and then kicked out where they cannot own or operate. The crude brought out is under contract to the local government. Now, if you want to support Chavez and his government, buy Citgo and other products produced under label by Citgo.

Really, this world economy sucks, but..... over 4000 employess in Tx work for Citgo and they have over 14000 service stations located in the US. Check out Snopes.com for other interesting facts. I don't typically use Citgo, but only because they don't have stations around my house, but I have no problem using HD products.

I never buy from Citco stations...... 7/11 convenience stores are owned by Seven-Eleven Japan Co. Ltd, Headquarters: 2-8 Nibancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan 102-8452, and they only sell Citgo fuel

Wasn't sure if I wanted to jump in this hot-bed of political talk, but since I have *****, I will.

It is time to dis-band the UN...........there are members that just are trying to make one world order and abolish our Constitutional Rights.

There is a lot of money behind all of this. George Soros is one with billions to share with politicians.

If we dump the UN, azzholes like Chavez would'nt get away with flaming our President, no matter who the President happened to be at the time...

If we continue on the same route we are headed, can you say "That will be 15 Euro's please."


If the profits are going to Chavez and his government, I do not have a problem with boycotting Citgo.

All in favor, say "I"

just my 3 Euros

Forgive me all to hell but SO WHAT?
No I won't forgive you all to hell! I'll tell you "so what", no idiotic foreign dictator has the right to come into our country and call any president whether it be Bush or any other President, even Clinton if he was in office and call them a devil and make remarks about our country. They should run his commy *** out of here along along with the idiot from Iran and they can take dumb *** Cindy Sheehan with them, she likes to hug Chavez anyway. I am always amazed by you Bush haters, you would rather stick up for terrorists then your own country. What a group idiots the far left is, which is of course why you don't win elections and this sure won't help. I am almost embarrassed to still be a registered Democrat even though I haven't found many I wanted to vote for recently. Screw Citgo.

The 1st thing to do with Hugo is stamp him "persona non grata" and escort his *** to the airport. As far as Citgo is concerned I quit burning it quite a while ago. I guess I can add 7-11 to the black list also. Harley lubricants (provided by Citgo) will never go back into my bike if I can help it. Forget about the political crap, there's better stuff out there for lubricants anyway.

I drained a fresh oil change of Syn3 yesterday and went with a true 20W50 synthetic ( non-harley). The top end noise on my twin cam reduced IMHO at least 50%. A month ago I added the Screamin' Eagle 6 Speed. I had the dealer dump the Syn3 out of the 6 speed and put in a better lube in the tranny too. Tranny noise also went down.

YOu want to get somebody's attention, hit them in the wallet! It's the only way to spank anyone today without being accused of child abuse!

You are partially correct, but Citgo is completely managed by americans and over 5000 americans get there paychecks here in the good old USA. Plus gas/sales taxes, etc.... We really would only be hurting our own people.
I guy is nuts and we should do what the prez is doing and ignore him.

Citgo is the national oil company of Venezuela. The government of that country has repeatedly stated there goal is to destroy America. When you buy their products, your support their gov't and it's goals. It really is that simple. Don't worry about Bush, he's just the figurehead of the moment. He's said the same thing about every other president. It's our country that he hates, not just the current figurehead.

Yes, it is managed by Americans. And, yes, 5K or so Americans get their paycheck from Citgo. That makes them Mercenaries working against their own gov't. I won't support them either.

I make it a point to never buy anything I suspect is made by Citgo.
