Buy Mobile, they seem to be more domesticated. Kind of hard to keep track though, so many are into each others pockets now...

Considering Je$$e Jack$son is picketing against BP, that's where I am looking to buy all my fuel in the near future. Exxon is also fairly safe, as the homosexuals hate them for not caving on benefits to "live-in partners". The local Exxon is run by very polite Asian men who are most helpful to boot.

Citgo is owned by the government of Venezuela.

Nice thought but the problem is that oil is a global fungible commodity.
Even if you found a source guaranteeing they were supplied with domestic oil, you are contributing to global demand and the global price of oil. To the Saudis it doesn't matter much where your oil is sourced from -- just that you're buying it.

The United States gets most oil for its gasoline from Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, and domestically. We get very little from the Middle East.

All of Citgo's oil is Venezuelan, so if you're worried that a portion of the $ that you spend on oil go to middle eastern terrorists, that's the way to go. Of course, if you do that, you end up stabilizing a leftist nutjob in Venezuela...
The best option would be to "right size" your vehicle for your transportation needs. I've gone from 6 tankfuls a month on my Jeep @ $45 per fill down to 2 tankfuls a month on my VW Golf TDI @ $30 per fill which is a fairly substantial savings.
Better yet is to get a motorcycle (twins tend to be more fuel efficient than fours, small displacement more fuel efficient than large...)

I generally fill up at Walmart (it's close and convenient). I have no idea who supplies their gas however.

You'll just have to stay at home, with the blinds shut.

Citgo is Venezuelan-owned. I refer to them as 'Venezuelan-State-Oil-Company" stations.

Buy a VW TDI.
Run only locally-produced biodiesel.
Keep in mind that Germany is in the Axis of Weasels,
your TDI was likely made in Mexico, and if you live
in a Blue state, you probably aren't allowed to buy
a diesel passenger car.
