"BUSH INSPIRES CITGO REMOVAL FROM 7-11"
We need to watch where else Chavez makes income in America.

The Sheetz station is kept in check by the 7-Eleven or vice-versa. They are usually the same, but the traffic is crazy in and out of the Sheetz station.

Big deal. The Venezuelans still sell crude into our markets
(and into your gas tank). But if it makes you feel better,
by all means boycott them.

What they are saying is we are going to continue to use Citgo gas, but rename it.

As I recall, 7-Eleven is part of the Southland Corp., which is Japanese owned, fwiw.

It's more than just selling crude. Hugo is also getting significant cash at the retail level from the refined final product.

Make that "was".

Citgo - $1.97 for regular on US Navy bases in Tidewater area.

WaWa's $1.94...go there.

Are you sure? It sounds like they are going to buy from different vendors.

Interesting point.

...I actually don't use Citgo since it's so expensive anyway...I use Chevron. But I still like 7-11's coffee; it's not as strong or exorbitant as Starbucks'.

I drive right by the Citgo every day, and there is never a wait. There is no WaWa on my route.

I think they will purchase it from a distrubtor who will get from whomever is cheapest.

you can provide online feedback. You have to jump through some hoops (finding a local store, etc) but it's worth the 5mins to commend them on this move.

Yeah, it is a global economy but denying the US market means more freight to get to other markets and less for Chavez - also big loss of prestige

We Don Nid no Stinkin Citgo.

And dont buy Lukoil either - that's Putins.

Yes, however, the entity named Citgo will no longer profit from the relationship with 7/11 at the retail level, and that is not chump change.
