If you decide to boycott one brand of gasoline which one would that be? My choice would be Citgo because of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

I would actually boycott premium because it cost too darn much. Heck, all gas, for that matter, cost too much. Let's just boycott all of it.

If only 15% of BP and Shells customers bought gas elsewhere BP and Shell would reduce prices to bring those customers back! And as the gas prices at BP and Shell drop their competition would also drop prices to remain competitive!

I chose BP & Shell because they are nation-wide companies. Ideally I would choose 2 national companies with the highest quarterly profits. That way the companies being boycotted would, perhaps, change quarterly minimizing the impact to the independently owned stations associated with those large companies.

IMHO Price is one of the most important key factors. Therefore I would boycott the most expensive brand.

All Speedway and Marathon gas stations.

They are first to raise and the very last to go down.

At least here in Bowling Green

We should stop fixating on gas boycotts ,we are not getting organised enough to make any boycott work. There are sights that explain how the economy works. But what it comes down to is, as a hole population ,and not just north america, we have to consume less commodities.Since everything is delivered and or made using fuels. If you don't consume it then they don't have to deliver more. If you cant do without your big mac , starbucks , bottled water etc... for a day or so then your part of the problem We need to create a surplus of supply for the demand of basicly everything.This is something everybody can do for just a day a week . We have to change our wastefull, glutteness habits that affect fuel supply and demand.

To;jdheim.
'people's gas' is no longer A Gas company.
In Chicago, they SOLD the gas. Now they ONLY OWN the pipes.
NOT the Meters or GAS ! This is why 'people's gas' charge so much.

Everybody is selling out to charge us more?
This sounds like my Government. Here in Chicago A government official is going to jail for selling us out monthly.

We(ALL) should Boycott ALL stations, for
ONLY One DAY on A WEEKEND & ALL stations!
(Holiday weekend, on A Monday?)
