Opening your post I was expecting your unforseen cost to be all the time you waste on PC.

Oh my god! I read this post and found it hilarious. Then I read the responses and was flabbergasted. How can there be such idiots on this forum. Can you imagine what it's like living with such people at home, who have no idea what a joke is or what sarcasm is? I feel bad for their families.


P.S. Citgo is owned by Chavez.

For what it's worth, I was with you. You might try this smiley:
The winking eye usually tips off the slower of us that you are being ironic. Other than that you might try the ever popular modified html tags <sarcasm> and </sarcasm>. Beyond that, chalk it up to the fact that posters tend to be a wee bit sensitive.

It isn't that Citgo as a company buys their oil from Chavez, it's that he (or rather his government) owns the entire Citgo company.

Other companies such as Shell, Exxon, BP, Speedway, Marathon, etc may purchase some of their oil or gasoline from the middle east, but the actual companies are publicly traded and owned by the stockholders.

As to what is worse or what is better, that depends on you first learning a bit about world politics and corporate practices, and then deciding on what your personal priorities are.

As I understand it, if people don't buy their gasoline from Citgo stations, then the Citgo company will just sell their gasoline to other stations were people do buy their gasoline. You really don't affect Chavez pocketbook buy refusing to buy your gasoline from Citgo branded gas stations, but it makes some people feel like they are at least making some sort of statement.

I've heard many times in the past that gasoline is a fungible commodity, but it's never been clear to me just how fungible it is, or how the process works of one company using gasoline manufactured by another.
