CITGO gas is from South America, from a Dictator who dislikes American foreign policy.

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.
Tips to save on gas…
1. Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon.
2. When you’re filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In low mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less gas for your money.
3. Fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space and the fewer vapors. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine.
4. If there is a gasoline tanker truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT FILL UP -- the gasoline is being stirred up and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom. Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.
Tell your local car dealer you won't buy another car unless it's a plug-in hybrid or electric.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh!!!!! I'm so tired of hearing about gas prices! It hit $121 a barrel the other day! I think it's about time we got off gas.
Think about it. I was at Target yesterday and I thought, "hmmmm I need milk. So I went to buy a gallon and it was $4.39 a gallon! Enough to make me want to buy my own cow.
I wonder if there's a connection? Higher gas prices = higher food prices! I for one and sick of it.-
