donstruke Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Anyone else simultaneously disgusted and amused by Venezuela's Top Taco, Chavez? (I'm about 98% disgusted and the rest of me is amused.) I'm sure everyone knows that Citco is owned by the Venezuelan government. I have a friend who owns a Citgo station (also has a Euro-model S8 that cost big bux to get Federalized, and a turbo Porsche, so the man's got to make a living) and I haven't had the heart to broach this with him. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't care if they appoint a cave lead by Al Quada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wills Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 The sad thing is we are Venezuela's largest oil consumer, so even if we nix Citgo it really doesn't matter But Venezuela's economy is oil, so you think they want us to stop buying? A viscous circle indeed! UN stands for Useless Nations, we should take the building and let Trump convert it to condos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Chavez, uh, to what god would godless communists be prayerfying? Prayerfication. Praymatizing. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donstruke Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 on a related note 711 dropped Citgo, actually found that interestingThis is from hotair.com on 26 Oct:BHL has obtained a copy of a letter from Janey Carpenter, Manager of Consumer Affairs that states 7-11 Stores are ending their 20-year supply agreement with CITGO Petroleum Corp. According to Carpenter, the contract ends next week and 7-11 is now making the switch to its own branded gasoline. The company says the change has nothing to do with derogatory comments made last week by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the United Nations. Nevertheless, 7/11 Stores will begin selling in October gas provided by US companies, such as Tower Energy Group in Torrance, CA., Sinclair Oil of Salt Lake City and Frontier Oil Corp of Houston. Carpenter says the signs will start to change, with CITGO signs coming down from the stores’ gas canopy and off gasoline dispensers. More than 2,100 stores are affected. While most of the signs will be changed by end of ‘07, not all CITGO signs will be off gas canopies until ‘08.7-11 is owned by a Japanese corporation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
