Must we see this every year? Exxon and Mobil sell their gas to more than
just their stations. Where do you think the mom and pop get theirs from?
Bottom line is you will not, i repeat, will not hurt the oil companies in
any way short of using less gas. There are record numbers of suv's and
luxury cars still being sold so it will be a fruitless effort until that
stops.
