[Flabbergasted]

someone sais....Oh can't work!

Line 2:............Can we discuss a better alternative then?

Line 3:.............Or atleast just DON'T POST!


Now someone is going to say "Oh, because it won't work"...Go back to (Line 2)

1. you know

I'm game!!!!

we need to do SOMETHING :nuke:

2. I have no idea why anyone would be buying their gas.

Unless they had been living in a cave.

3. buy "Citgo" and rile the enemy EXXON and the bush gas cartel nt

[TAPat]

5. Can I buy directly from Venezuela?

Seriously... :)

[RufusEarl]

6. I agree, i only buy Citgo gas!

I help Hugo ever way i can, and they have good gas!

[AlCzervik]

13. can you only get it from Citgo stations or do other places carry it?

[DemInDistress]

16. the only gas station I know not connected to the bush crime

cartel is "Citgo". Rarely would I fill up at EXXON or the other gasoline giants. I support Hugo Chavez and the hell with that "POS POTUS"

btw, my local AAMCO is 2.95 gal self serve. how about your neighborhood?

4. Exxon Mobile are everywhere if not here they would be FOOLS

just my speculation? :shrug:

[Flabbergasted]

7. I've read that post several times already and EVERYTIME its attacked

If these people don't have solutions or better ideas don't post!~

12. Have you noticed that ExxonMobil gas stations are always at...

exits of Interstates?

While driving down the road you can find a Sunoco, Citgo, Crown, Sheetz, Hess...gas station?

[Not Sure]

8. I see the comments about Citgo

and I get that there's a connection between Citgo and Venezuela. Does anyone have a breakdown of where each company gets its oil? I buy my gas from either Valero or QuikTrip, because both are nearby, but also because I don't have any interest in supporting ExxonMobil (my senator, Kay Bailey Hutchison's one true constituent).

9. Hey, I haven't purchased Exxon Mobile products in years and we

own (jsut under 200 shares) some XOM stock. (Don't beat me; it was an inheritance. Since we've had the stock for over 35 years, we couldn't afford to sell it because of the capital gains tax...)

What I want to know is, why, when XOM is bulldozing in the obscene profits, the dividends paid to the share holders isn't bigger.

Oh, that's right. I all goes to the CEOs and the BOD members. After all, if a company is going to pay the out going CEO a salary of over $200 million and then hand him a $98 million retirement payment.

10. Won't do ExxonMobil

I buy Citgo gas if I can an Sheetz, Crown gas

MD VA DC alternatives

11. I overheard the ladies in the dentists office talk about the exxon boycott

If it's being talked about there -- and other ordinary places around the country and not just the internet -- it might actually have legs.

15. Haven't bought EXXON since Valdez

and since EXXON bought Mobil, I don't buy that too!!!

[derby378]

14. There's also RaceTrac...

Doesn't a lot of their gas come from French tankers?

[doc03]

17. I've noticed that too, every time someone brings it

up "it won't work". I think it would if it would go nationwide. I always see buy Citgo, well there are very few Citgo stations. To me it would be much more effective to boycott Exxon, it's easy to find an alternative to them. If we could cut the profits at Exxon they will lower their prices and all others will be forced to do the same. One thing I wonder how many other brand names Exxon sells gas under?
