Big oil Boycot?

Question

GAS COMPANY BOYCOT

Here is how to beat the big oil companies at there own game.

With gas now over $4.00 a gallon and no lowering of prices in sight, the oil companies are making record profits and forcing everything else to climb in price. I have an Idea that with enough involvement would force the big oil companies to lower the price or face a major loss of those great profits.

We all need to come together and boycott the gas stations that are causing the gouging of America.

Here is how it would work:

During the next 30 days, we will avoid any purchase at any “SHELL OIL” gas station,

You can purchase as much gas, food or snacks as you like at any other gas station in the nation, but you must avoid SHELL OIL.

In the next month if Shell oil drops the price of gas at least one dollar per gallon, then we can return to shopping there.

If Shell oil does not drop the price, then we must continue to boycott the company until it does.

When and only when Shell oil drops the price will the boycott then change to Mobil oil, CITGO, Texaco, BP, Chevron etc We need to target them individually and not as an industry.

This is there only weakness,

We will continue until the prices fall all over

We must not buy anything from the convenience store, no car wash, do not even stop and use their restrooms.

START WITH SHELL AND THEY MUST COMPLY

“We will start our own gas war”

Answer 1

Please read other posts.  This idea was floated many times.  And have you heard about any boycott?  No.  Because it doesn't work.

I am glad you are trying.  But the problem is complex and the solution is just as complex.

Keep thinking and good luck...

Answer 2

Why does anyone think that this will work?  The only thing we can do is kill about 3 or 4 billion people around the world. Since demand, according to the so called experts, is the problem, the less people driving will cause less demand, right. Boycotting oil companies will not make the price lower, just make them higher in the long run.

Answer 3

this is the oldest spam mail in the books.  believe it or not, this was first started back in the 90s and guess what....gas was less than $2.00 back then.  And its been attempted before but really, it doesn't work.

this is just spam.

Answer 4

That will never work. I think we should just kidnap some of their CEO's and torture them until they lower the prices.

Answer 5

Do they not teach economics in high school anymore?

Or are you still in middle school?

Answer 6

heres a better idea since no one will boycott gas companies, pay for your gas in change, thats what im doing (anyone got $100 in change??)
