..some people might not have a choice....but I don’t use CITGO and LUKOIL
I’ve seen Lukoil stations, but didn’t realize they were Russian owned until I googled it after your post.
According to Wikopedia they have also purchased Getty Oil and some stations selling other brands:
“In 2000, Lukoil purchased Getty Oil and converted a number of Getty stations in the US to Lukoil in 2003.
“In 2004, Lukoil acquired Schlotzmeyer Bros., who formerly owned the Mobil stations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Many of these stations had Circle K stores, which Lukoil converted to its own Kwik Farms brand. However, many Mobil franchisees in the area did not want to convert their stations to Lukoil, because it sold its fuel at the same prices as more established brands.”
Is Citgo the same company as Gitgo? The supermarket chain, Giant Eagle, gives a discount available at Gitgo stations here in Ohio. I think it’s 10 cents a gallon for every $50 spent at the store.
