On the radio this morning they were saying something about 7-Eleven no longer using Citgo gas because it comes from Venezuela. They said that some politician from Venezuela went to the UN taking all kinds of crap about GW Bush therefore 7-Eleven is going to boycott Citgo gas. Is this true? Do you really think 7-Eleven will find a new gas company?

They had already contracted with an independent refinery to provide cheaper gas that they can brand as their own. Last week's tirade on the floor of the UN had little influence on their decision which was already in the works for about 2 years. 7/11 is just capitalizing on the timing of Chavez' remarks to announce it's switch over to their branded gasoline.
The real kicker is that Citgo supplies most of the smaller independent refineries because the cheaper cost of transportation means savings for them. So there is a better than even bet that 7/11 will still be selling gasoline made from Venezuelan crude oil.

Sure they will. They said they are not renewing the contract with Citgo brand. See In The News at http://citgoboycott.org/

they are liars, they won't quit, the politician was Hugo Chavez & he went to an American church and run his mouth about our president.
