Fight the gas prices

[Occhidiangela]

Gas boycotts really dont work, but what about this idea I read about - Exxon for example, what if we boycott just the BIG companies for a certain time then move to another one, or simply keep on that one. I understand there is little we can actually do except wait 10 years for tech to catch up, but we can certainly share ideas on how to save and creat inovative ideas to help us, no one else is going to. that is simply my sites goal.

Exxon pumps what the refineries sell. If you don't pump it at an Exxon station, you will pump the same gas somewhere else if Exxon can't sell the volume. The Exxon refineries will sell to Valero or Citgo, to keep cash flow up, if the Exxon stations can't meet the need and people need gas at their stations.

Until this part, I was having second thoughts about "rebel without a clue."

As I noted earlier, setting a baseline of your own energy usage, and trying to find sane ways to reduce it is a good start for everyone. If your site is about that, great.

If not, well, I've already covered that ground.

In any case, Lay on MacDuff. Not trying anything is hardly the answer, eh?
