Off brand?
Quote From: trigreenIf you are buying Exon-Mobile, Shell, Conocco, etc. you are usually paying to much for gas. Off-brand name gas is the same thing as brand name gas or cheaper brand names such as Citgo and you are getting the exact same product. For most cars the fuel grade doesn't matter either and you are no better off with the more expensive fuel grades that the cheaper ones. And even more so pay cash or your gas don't charge it. You will realize just how much you are spending and this will encourage you to cut back on how much gas you are using. Charging gas and groceries is one of the biggest financial mistakes people make. Citgo gets it's oil supplies mainly from a certain country in South America, which is keeping more and more of it's supplies for itself, or selling to those nations that are willing to pay higher prices for it. (Like China, India, and the former Soviet countries.) I know this because I know someone who works at the Citgo offices here in the US. Are they greedy or just using good business sense.
We are not entitled to low gas prices. We can b**ch and moan about it, but that doesn't change the reality of what's going on in the world.
How bad will it have to get before we start acting like the Americans before us who relied on ingenuity and invention and not like spoiled entitled brats?
