Maybe I'll write a letter to the Base Newspaper. Demand why are we supporting Citgo after Chavez insulted our President?
"we have CITCO station on the Navy Base in Great Lakes!"

You are welcome!
Got to draw the line somewhere. I will not shop or buy gas at Citgo.
At my employers (part-time retirement extra income to keep my airplane in the air) we switched like a snap of the fingers to another supplier with a better deal. Got to think this could apply to Citgo.
