I don't think it means much except for a market loss for Citgo. It doesn't mean less gasoline will be available here. The stations that are cut off will just have to find a new supplier, probably the same one that Citgo was using themselves.

The bottom line is that Chavez is happy to supply Americans with gasoline produced at his refineries in the US and sells at a profit. He's unwilling to buy gasoline produced at other American refineries which also sells for the same profit. He equates buying American as a "subsidy", which shows you how shallow his economic intellect is.
