yes, indirectly you would be. unfortunately there is very little that we can do about it. if you buy groceries from a company that uses Citgo gas in their vehicles you are also supporting terrorism.

No, look at what Citgo has done for the poor of the united states. I notice none of our american companies have donated millions of dollars worth of heating oil during the winter or sold at cost to people who really need energy. Hugo Chavez is looking after the interests of his people and is a socialist, I am sorry if my heart is not bleeding out because a couple of companies that are pulling tens of billions of dollars in profit are having some of their assets nationalized.

CITGO Oil Company buys the bulk of its oil (if not all of it) from Venezuela.
Dictator Hugo Chavez is putting the screws to oil companies as he gets more and more greedy. His government policies are definitely anti-American.
Chavez gave Exxon & Conoco Oil companies a deadline to fall in line with Venezuela's new oil policies and as of today's YaHoo news, they have refused.
Chavez supports many anti-American policies and causes. Terrorism is just one of them.
But as you will note, Exxon (and therefore, Mobil) and Conoco (Philips) Petroleum Companies have been doing business with Chavez for years. So, much of the USA has been underwriting anti-American sentiment against our own country
Depending upon where you live, using Kwik-Fill and Red Apple gas stations will promote our own domestic oil production. Run by United Refining Company, Kwik-Fill and Red Apple use gasoline the comes solely from Pennsylvania.

Yes. Absolutely. That's why Anarchy is the way to go!
Also: to the person who answered first, Hugo is not a terrorist. Any evidence of him supporting terror would be greatly appreciated. He is a democratically elected leader, who's chief concern has always been domestic policy in Venezuela, anyway.
