Want cheap gas? Citgo may be the way to go
Filed under: Shopping, Transportation
Want to save money on gas and protest President Bush's policy at the same time? Some say the way to go is Citgo gas. That's because it's a wholly owned subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company. Yes, that would be the Venezuela currently being run by that nutjob Hugo Chavez, who calls our president "the devil." But still, he is hated by Bush and he is probably the only president who is said to be elected on a platform of using his country's oil revenue to benefit the poor. That's something. Finding a Citgo gas station isn't hard, since there are about 14,000 of them across the country. According to CommonDreams.org, a left-leaning website, buying your gas at Citgo means you are helping to provide health care, literacy and education to the poor in Venezuela, rather than merely subsidizing rich, fatcat oil companies. One report said that President Chavez is offering gas and heating fuel at low prices this winter to help the poor and needy in this country.
Not everyone is a fan. Check out Citgo Boycott Headquarters for the opposing view. They say Chavez's allies are pro-Communist, and that he sponsors worldwide terrorism. So is Citgo gas really cheaper? And if it is, is it worth buying it? Decide for yourself.

What an idiotic post. A severe dumbing down with a dash of unneeded politics. WalletPop, I can gaurantee you there are a ton of better bloggers out there than Jackie Mroz...and you better find them quick. First the wedding crashing article and then this? How about more posts that actually reinforce your slogan of 'Live Well For Less'?

I agree wholeheartedly. What greater irony is there than the nation who lives to serve the almighty dollar invests in their foreign detractors because they offer cheaper prices?
I love it. I would buy all my gas from Citgo, if there was one locally.
By the way, if you are seriously too stupid to think of a better insult than "pro-communist", I recommend you join your friends (the people who spring to the term "racist" at the first whiff of controversy) and take a night class in the english language.
Walletpop, can you think of a cheaper way to make yourself look less uneducated than the price of your average english night class?

I would rather push my car, with no gas in it, than to put his gas in. He is a terrorist. "Better red than dead", count me as dead.

Yes, let's buy gas from a communist leader that stole a company. Good journalism here...
