I believe that Citgo is a Venezuelan company which supports communism and all that nonsense. So that could be what he meant by that. (Chavez said that the UN smelled like sulfur after Bush spoke there because Bush was the devil)

*Open mouth. Insert foot.* I still think that if the oil companies wanted new refineries bad enough they could get past the EPA. They've got enough money to bribe all the tree huggers into submission. If not couldn't they build refineries near the oil fields and ship the refined fuel here? You'll have to excuse me if what I say is totally stupid. I'm just writing as I go.

I've worked at both Exxon and Shell in Lousiana so I know a little about it. I was a union carpenter working on the cooling towers in the early '80's. Even back then management was complaining about how little capacity they had and their hands were tied. A new refinery has not been built for over 30 years. Jeez, there is oil all over North America and the environmentalists just won't let us have it.The irony of it is that China is going to come and get our oil and there is nothing we can do about it.

I still run LSD, It's polar blend diesel. I just run DK(white bottle) with every fill up and have not had a gell-up yet(knock on wood) or any other problems either. Plus, it's 15 cents/gallon cheaper than the other stuff.
Half of the pumps at the station(BP) where I fill are LSD and the other are ULSD Polar blend. I don't believe they forgot to change the stickers on half of their pumps.

I think that LSD has better lubricating properties. That isn't even an issue. The process to get it down below 15ppm for ULSD dries the fuel out so much that it loses a bunch of lubricity. I just want to know if it's worth 10 cents (or more) more a gallon per fill-up?
