[cool][#0000ff]I'm doing my part. I haven't stopped at one of their stations in many years.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The only flaw is that those companies sell surplus to many independent companies, at reduced prices...when they have surplus. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]A boycott will only affect the owner operators of the individual stations...many who are nice folks who have their life savings tied up in their stations and who have nothing to do with oil prices. In fact, most of them are sympathetic too, because they really care about providing good service to their local area customers. The boycott would ruin many independent business owners and do nothing to the major oil companies. For them it will still be business as usual.[/#0000ff]
