U.S. should just cut of Chavez for being a pain. Make him sell his oil wholesale, i.e., through another country that marks it up and sells to us. Why do let CITGO operate here?

Why do people continue to patronize CITGO stations? No one buys Hugo's gas, Hugo doesn't stay here.

refined into home heating oil for the north,,,

About 80% total comes through my state...

Because 90% don't know anything about where the stuff they buy originates. Even if they were informed they wouldn't care.

Not just CITCO.

The HOVENSA refinery in the Virgin Islands is co-owned by Hess Oil and Venzuela. Much of the gasoline marketed in the Northeast is from Venzuela crude.
