We had two gas stations in LaFayette named Golden Gallon. They sold Citgo fuel. They are now Kangaroo Express and sell Amoco fuel. PrometheusX303 00:05, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to get the reference link working. I want to make that [1] next to the Sept 2006 news bring the page down to the external link section for the article I cited.
With the recent issues bewteen the US and Venezuela, it may be a good idea to protect this page from editing.

The claim that Chavez's UN Speech is a "major factor" in the 7-Eleven policy change is unsubstantiated. The break just happened at a time that allowed 7-11 to capitalize on current events to garner some good PR, as explained by the reference at the AP. CodeNaked 20:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I edited out the offending sentence and tried to insert one that was balanced and clear. I used that great CNN article as a reference. Good?
The A.P. quoted a named spokeswoman (Margaret Chabris) saying that "7-Eleven officials said Wednesday that the decision was partly motivated by politics" (in the A.P. article quoted.) Joseph 15:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
This AP article [1] Venezuela's Citgo to stop gas sales to hundreds of U.S. stations - Jul 12 2006, contradicts the entire 7-Eleven entry. The repeated claim that 7-Eleven dropped the ball is highly questionable at best.
There appears to be intentional media deception at play with this story. Check out these two contradicting FOX news articles:
Citgo to Stop Selling Gas to 1,800 U.S. Stations - July 12, 2006
7-Eleven to End Relationship with Venezuela-Backed Citgo - September 27, 2006
The second article (above) is full of misleading and contradictory statements, and it contains a great deal of unsourced editorial opinion.
The 7-Eleven entry has to be modified to show that Citgo dropped 7-Eleven on July 12/06, which was well before media sources made the contradictory claim that it was 7-Eleven that dropped Citgo. The news sources that contain misleading and unsourced editorial opinion should be dropped, or better yet, cited as examples of how a false story was manufactured and sold to the public.
The quote where you claim she later recanted was nowhere in your reference. I therefore deleted it. Judging by your comments, you seem like the last person who should be allowed to edit anything in this article and I suggest that all of your changes be reviewed, if not simply outright reversed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.191.28 ( talk) 19:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I represent CITGO in its Wikipedia outreach efforts. CITGO would like the following text from the current version of the 7-Eleven article added to the first paragraph under the Venezuelan controversy section.
Please either add it or let me know if I can add this text. Thank you. -- Digistrat ( talk) 15:02, 21 February 2012 (UTC) If this revision is not deemed suitable for this article, I would appreciate an explanation of that reasoning. -- 74.95.80.113 ( talk) 17:32, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

This statement: "PDVSA is controlled by the Venezuelan government", seems redundant, as it states earlier that the company is Venezuela state owned. 69.95.208.155
I'm not an american so I've never encountered this company, but I would like to know, and I'm sure others would as well, the typical pronunciation of CITGO. It seems like a useful addition to the article. -- Blair Mitchelmore ( talk) 02:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Citgo, aka Cities Services, was involved in one of the landmark takeover battles of the early 1980s, against Boone Pickens' Mesa Petroleum. Surely that should be in here somewhere? -- Christofurio ( talk) 13:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I've flagged the sentence regarding the claim that many individuals across the country object to the sign because of the Venezuelan connection. For starters, the cite on that was about a single Boston councilman who was objecting--incidentally, said cite is now a dead link and flagged as such. Second, a quick Google search would suggest that said councilman is pretty much the ONLY person to raise that issue. Finally, this objection was raised more than 6 years ago and doesn't seem to have come up again, most noticeably when the sign was re-lit after refurbishing. That statement really doesn't contribute to the discussion of the sign as it seems to have never gone anywhere, and the Venezuelan issues are covered adequately in their own section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.235.222.202 ( talk) 14:46, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be CITGO not Citgo? Their website uses CITGO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.218.8.49 ( talk) 00:29, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Petróleos de Venezuela SA will offer to swap $7 billion of bonds maturing in April and November next year for new 8.5 percent notes with payments staggered over the next four years. The new bonds will be backed by a 50.1 percent stake in Citgo Holding Inc., the unit that owns its U.S. refining arm. pdvsa-swap-surprise-- Eduardo Vaquez ( talk) 07:29, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
How is the Citgo 6 scandal not included under "controversies"?-- 98.111.164.239 ( talk) 01:42, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
