All the gas is ran through the same piplines
so in fact it is mixed.
the difference is what goes into the pipeline.
A company....say Citgo puts one million gallons in at the Texas refinery,
at the distrubution center they can take out up to one million gallons.
buying gas at citgo does not mean you are burning Venezuelan oil
It does mean you are putting more Venezuelan oil into the total market.
Citgo is also mostly owned by Venezuela
so the profit supports the Venezuelan goverment and people.
