Two points.
1. Neither the employees of 7-Eleven nor the owners of Citgo stations have anything whatever to do with Venezuela or Chavez, so why would some of us wish them ill?
2. The US will still be buying gasoline/oil from Venezuela/Chavez. It'll just be mixed in with other sources and sent to other brand name stations. Yes, that's a pity in that it supports Chavez. But the alternative is to decrease supply - and increase costs. If you bellyached about $3/gallon gas, don't be so high and mighty now - or swallow your indignation and dig deeper in your wallet.
