#9  It's got to hurt, even if it's only psychological, there's a hell of a lot of 7-11's out there.

#8  SuperHose - 7-11 dropped the Citgo (Chavez) BRAND, but there's a real good chance they're still buying the oil from the same refinery (which may or may not be an actual Citgo refinery), and if they are not, then someone else is. They don't really have much choice - we don't have a lot of spare refineries sitting around. This is not a knock on 7-11 - at least they did what they could; just don't go thinking it will break Chavez.

#7  The new taxes on the heavy stuff he imposed isn't helping. Money is jumpy and maybe likes Ft. McMurrary better.

How's the viaduct coming along?

#6  Hugo is calling his declining output, due to his meddling in things he should have left alone. productions cuts. What a laugh, what a total moron. He can't afford to cut anything; he is over spending like a crack hooked heiress .

#3  I wonder whether he'll drop production by the exact amount of the 7-11 account.

#2  yep - he's overpromised and the price cuts won't make him any better. Couldn't happen to a nicer asshole

#1  Didn't I read here that Hugo already couldn't meet his current production commitments domestically and was buying Soviet Russian oil to make up the dif?
