Venezuela sends US barrels of gasoline

<clips>

HOUSTON - CITGO Petroleum Corp. expects to receive 240,000 barrels of Venezuelan gasoline at the Port of Houston Monday, part of Venezuela's one million barrel pledge of gasoline to help alleviate fuel shortages after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

"We are doing our utmost to keep supplies to the market and fight any price speculation," said Felix Rodr¡guez, CITGO's president and CEO. "Our Lake Charles manufacturing complex suffered some damage from Hurricane Rita. The extent of that damage is still being assessed, but that makes the contributions of our Corpus Christi and Lemont, Ill., refineries all the more important as we do everything we can to prevent product shortages from becoming any more acute."

The gasoline will be distributed through the Eagle and Colonial pipeline systems, which serve Texas and the American southeast.

is quite high, but I go there anyway because of Chavez.

area last week that Gulf and Mobil were $2.89 and CITGO was $2.74. It made me think that Chavez was keeping his promise about helping the poor in this country.

“My other piece of advice, Copperfield,” said Mr. Micawber, “you know. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery. The blossom is blighted, the leaf is withered, the God of day goes down upon the dreary scene, and—and in short you are for ever floored. As I am!”

And just because it means a little to an individual and a lot to a company doesn't mean we should surrender and not care about those small sums.

“If a certain measure A is the case of a loss of one franc to each of a thousand persons, and of a thousand franc gain to one individual, the latter will expand a great deal of energy, whereas the former will resist weakly; and it is likely that, in the end, the person who is attempting to secure the thousand francs via A will be successful.”

We need an oilman: Chavez!
