They will switch to their own brand of fuel. Good for them!
Update I: This doesn’t appear to be related to Chavez’s comments last week, but the thought that he’ll get ticked off by the announcement is enough for me 
Update II: Correction: 7-Eleven is saying that the move “was partly motivated by politics.” (Hat tip: ST reader Karl)

Citgo boycott: A productive protest or a waste of bandwidth?

I think Hugo the Troll completely misjudged the situation in America. He thought that giving out some cheap oil and then slamming Bush would stir some sort of “revolution”.
