I personally like BP. They are always so friendly in those BP places. It must be the happy green flower thingy.
But I like Citgo a little too. Why is everyone hatin Citgo? Citgo must feel lonely.

Citgo is a corporation owned by the Country of Venezuela.
Venezuela is ruled by the dictator Hugo Chaves.
Hugo Chaves wants to undermine the U.S.
Many Americans see Chaves as an enemy.

I don't know why people hate on Citgo. When you buy gas from Citgo, the money goes straight to the Venezuelan oil manufacturers, not Saudi Arabia. Buying from Citgo is kind of like thumbing your nose at the Middle East.

It is political. Citgo is owned by the government of Venezuela. the president of Ven. has had many bad things to say about our president. he said that Bush was "the devil", among many other things, on a recent visit to NYC.
