Is there a connection of valero oil company to venezuela?

If you don't want to finance the thuggish Hugo Chavez "democratically" "elected" "leader" of Venezuela, don't buy gas from VALERO gas stations.

You may have noticed Valero stations popping up all over America. They are really CITGO stations. Because of the deserved stigma attached to the Chavez-controlled gas stations, many Americans are not buying gas at CITGO, and the stations are losing money . . . big-time.

So, with the smoke and mirrors of a name-change, many CITGO stations are quietly changing from CITGO signs and emblems to Valero. The excuse is that Valero, a San Antonio-based oil refiner, is merely "branding" CITGO stations. Whatever. New Venezuela-affiliated stations are opening up at Valero, as well. Yes, Valero and CITGO are separate companies, but they benefit the same parties when the name Valero is on a gas station: Venezuela and Chavez.

NO. Absolutely not. I must disagree with the previous answer. It is true that many people hate Chavez and Citgo. All of the 7 11's in America were Citgo's and they are changing to get away from Chavez and Citgo. Valero is just a brand just like BP or Hess or any of them. I like Valero. I trust Valero.
