Buy Hugo's Gas, Hell No!
There is a growing boycott of Citgo gas. GOP and the City has details. Read more on the boycott here and here. I for one will certainly participate.
Jawa Report has good comments:
Hyscience says let's boycott Citgo. Seems pretty reasonable to me, although it may hurt a lot of businessmen in the process. Still, a widespread boycott could bring the share price down low enough that an American interest can buy it back.

Comments on Buy Hugo's Gas, Hell No!
You have got to be kidding me. Americans are too concerned with their own self interest and laziness to conform to any sort of boycott. So Hugo calls Bush the devil. What he was doing was giving voice to the voiceless. The next time I see a "soccer mom" in her Explorer or a "I need attention" disfunctional mid lifer driving a hummer I will be sure to tell them to not "buy Citco". Who are you kidding, Americans have become the slaves of what they despise most - "Tin Pot" dictators. I am tired of people sounding the rallying cry for a President who continually sells his own people out for the sake of a greasy buck. Chavez and Venezuela get 250 million for their oil exports to the U.S. The third largest importer. And you think selfish, unintelligent, and worst of all blindly self interested Americans will stop buying Citco. The last I heard Chavez discounted fuel costs for poor Americans. When was the last time our Federal Gov't came close to that kind of gesture.
