I also didn't realize that Citgo was a subsidiary of a Venezuela state-owned oil company. I won't be buying Citgo gas anymore.

Under an agreement last winter, Citgo, the Houston-based subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, was to sell 8 million gallons of heating oil on the open market and donate what amounts to a 40 percent discount to Maine. It also donated 120,000 gallons of oil to 40 Maine homeless shelters.
