The Freepers Say: NO MORE CITGO GAS FOR US!

[K8-EEE]

Why? Citgo benefits one of BushCo's assasination targets, Mr. Chavez to be exact. Bush and Pat Robertson would definitely not approve.

Here's a Citgo locator so we can all follow the Freeper's logic (in reverse, of course.)

I'm sure they think Saudi Arabia is paradise on earth, but I'd rather support Venezuela myself! I found out there are two 7-11 stores by me that pump Citgo, that's where I'm headed next time!

1. Us, too

Citgo it is.

[knowbody0]

2. all our Citgos are at 711 as well

that really suprised me.

[K8-EEE]

5. I Had No Idea!

I thought we didn't have Citgo here because I thought they were stations....

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Except freepers will buy the cheapest gas and guess where it is?

[OnionPatch]

32. LOL!! You are so right!!

I'm guessing that most Freepers and conservatives in general are way, way too concerned about their wallets and driven by their stinginess to allow their moral principles to interfere with getting a good bargain.

[Deja Q]

45. My Citgo station always charges 1 or 2 cents more per gallon.

Besides, the gas station I use, 8 miles from home, almost ALWAYS has prices 10-15 cents lower than everyone else. :9

Not that I am saying all Citgos charge more; the only one I've seen charges more.

[HKTech]

4. See their heads asplode...

When Citgo drops the price of a gallon by a nickle.

[K8-EEE]

6. Ha!!

LOL!! I would love that....the old fashioned kind of gas war, with the stations giving away glasses or something, remember that? Sure beats BushCo's gas war!

[tulsakatz]

14. I remember gas wars!

I know I'm telling my age here but, when I was a kid, I remember the gas stations would have gas wars. At that time gas was very cheap. I think the lowest price I can remember was about 20¢ per gallon.

I would love to see those days again but I doubt we ever will.

[ecoflame]

27. The lowest I remember gas is 28¢

[SammyWinstonJack]

30. I remember 25 cents.

[Obamanaut]

42. With a glass or piece of dinnerware. n/t

[LittleClarkie]

7. I like Citgo

They're always the last to go up and the first to go down around here. I seek them out already. No problem continuing to do so.

[oasis]

8. Freeps are all talk and no action. If they routinely use Citgo, they won't

be going out of their way. Freeps are full of shit always talking big.

They're among the last to sign up for Bush's war yet they claim to "support the troops".

[K8-EEE]

11. That's True, BUT....I Didn't Even Know I Had This Choice!

Thanks freeps!! I'll feel a WHOLE lot better buying gas at the 7-11. I HATE buying gas -- I always feel like it makes Bush and the Saudis smirk that I have to buy it. I've REALLY cut back though. My kids know that if we don't have a half tank left by Saturday, no beach! So they don't grumble too much about walking & subway-ing more.

[oasis]

15. I'll use Citgo whenever I can. To hell with Bush and his Saudi pals.

[Kerrytravelers]

9. Thank you for reminding us all!

[madrchsod]

10. buy most of my daily gasoline from city service

[Richard Steele]

12. Are all 7-11s Citgo? I'm asking because...

...when I was at the gas station up the street (BP)
a few hours ago, the lady in line ahead of me
asked the cashier if there were any 7-11s in this area.

I had been wondering why she was asking;
this might explain it.

[K8-EEE]

19. Yes I Think So Because OMG GET THIS!!!

I was searching for an answer to your question and came upon a very pathetic little message board which seemed to consist of three rabidly anti-Castro Cuban-Americans livid that people go to "Citgo and 7-11"

Absolutely lovely folks over there and check this post out:

"And Citgo, indiofutumayochavez, and boladechurrefidel can kiss my buttocks right after I take a royal, avocado, black bean soup and tuna fish salad dump. You too Lula!"

[Richard Steele]

24. I wish I had talked to her now!

I bet I just missed a good conversation
with a concerned liberal consumer!

[jmowreader]

39. Fun fact about 7-11

7-Eleven used to be owned by Unocal, which explained why Union 76 was on tap at all 7-Eleven stores. Now that Unocal no longer makes gasoline, they no longer sell it, hence no longer need a chain of convenience stores.

The man responsible for the gasoline business at 7-Eleven was hired from Citgo, where he was responsible for the gasoline business. I don't think they're owned by Citgo, but probably buy all their gas from them.

[magellan]

13. Isn't Hess also Venezuelan? (nt)

[tulsakatz]

17. I don't know if they're Venezuelan.......

.........but bluebuy.org lists them as a liberal company!!

I was wanting to buy from Hess but there are no locations in Oklahoma. From their website it looks like they're mainly on the east coast.

[Rainscents]

18. Yes it is!

[evilqueen]

16. Enter to win a year's worth of FREE Citgo gasoline...

http://www.citgo.com/Promotions.jsp

[K8-EEE]

20. Wow, THANKS!

Good luck everybody!

[evilqueen]

21. :) You're welcome.

I don't know why we don't pass on these kind of deals more often. I like this kind of stuff.

[Historic NY]

22. I've got 8 Citgos in my area.......

going there on Sat morning because one of my real old cars needs super duper stuff. I have 2 benefit cars shows this weekend and the old girl is going to suck down every drop.

[K8-EEE]

23. My Dad Has A 56 T-Bird Convertible

It's gorgeous -- but the only insurance that's affordable is real restricted (car events etc.) so we don't get many rides in it.

[Historic NY]

25. Tell him to check out Hagerty's.....

http://www.hagerty.com/

I've got them for 3 of my cars, no mileage or other use restrictions I pay just under $100 each for my 3 cars.

[K8-EEE]

28. That's Wonderful!!

I will forward that along -- although I think here in L.A. we're screwed with insurance every which way. He got rear ended once and yikes, getting another wheel kit thingee for the back cost as much as a new car!

[NMMNG]

26. I normally use Hess but I'm going to try to use Citgo now

It's worth it to screw over Bushco and the freepers!

[coffeenap]

29. Citgo is it for us--has been for 2 years! Filling a Prius, but still... nt

[OnionPatch]

31. I've been going to Citgo

but they are across town from where work, etc. I have slipped a few times and bought other gas for convenience.

However, knowing that the Freepers are actively boycotting Citgo now, I promise to made that drive every time my gauge says E.

[K8-EEE]

33. Be A Far-Left Radical Freak -- Conserve Gas!

My Citgo across town also, however it's by my daughter's horseback riding so since I fill up once a week (I'm really rationing the gas these days!) I'm just going to make Tuesday gas day. I used to routinely fill up twice a week but just a few changes (carpooling especially!) cut it in half.

One thing I've been doing to conserve gas is make one HUGE shopping trip at Costco every week and walk to the little indie produce store a few blocks from my house every day. Yes you will see me every morning with my little black wire cart thingee, it feels so old lady-ish but I like doing it this way because it forces me to plan dinner in the way a.m. -- and a little more exercise and a little less gas is always a good thing, I'm sure the freepers would disapprove!

[Toots]

34. It benefits the Venezuelan people not just Chavez and also does not

Contribute to GOP Coffers. Every other oil company does.

[K8-EEE]

35. Good Point!!

I'm def a Citgo Gal from now on!

[tabasco]

36. They would rather support Mohammed Atta's country.

And the country of 15/19 of the hijackers.

So they're pissed about Venezuela :shrug: but they're OK with Saudi Arabia.

Can't say that I'm surprised. Just like their glorious leader GWB.

[icymist]

37. I also understood ARCO and sonuco (SP?) were also

Venezuela too. Correct me if I'm wrong. ARCO also has the addinitional benifit of being 10% produced from corn, if I'm not mistaken.

[K8-EEE]

38. Jeez, I Hope So, There Are So Many ARCO's Where I Live

I have to sort of scrounge around to find a 7-11 that pumps gas. Most of them did away with the gas pumps for some reason.

[Mr_Spock]

40. Oh, I didn't realized I'd be pumping Citgo till today

:D

[katamaran]

41. Gotta find another Citgo

The Citgo station nearest me is run by a total Freeper whackjob who is always the first to raise gas prices at his two stations around here. He jacked the price of gas up to $4.00 a gallon on 9/11, and a whole lot of people around here haven't forgiven him yet. His gas is always 10-15 cents higher than everyone else, but he has the prime highway locations, so stupid people buy there.

Dude's seriously disturbed. Mommy bought him two gas stations ten years ago to give him something to do. I've seen him standing in the bank barefoot and filthy yelling at the bank manager. Lots of BC04 stickers at his store, anti-arab propaganda. Seriously creepy.

[Redstone]

43. Yah, right. It'll work as well as the "to Hell with Shell" campaign

during the "gas crisis" back in the 1970s.

Same cockamamie bullshit that NOBODY actually went through with.

Redstone

[kohodog]

44. Citgo and Hess are where I try to buy my gas.

I'm on the road for work and will occasionally use others EXCEPT ExxonMobil which are thew most common in CT. I haven't bought more than $5 from them in the last year...running on empty, but I won't put more than enough in than will get me to another station. Their campaign to use psuedo science to refute global warming is one reason I will not buy from them.

[neuvocat]

46. Fine. They can pay more

to drive to Crawford even though they can't afford bus fare.

[thebaghwan]

47. I only buy Citgo gas at the local 7-11 even though they just opened a

Safeway with a gas station down the street which has better prices.
