Why gasoline boycotts don't work:

I don't think most people pay attention to the 'boycott' comments. Any boycott, if it did have an adverse effect on gasoline sales in general, would simply lead to a latter increase to make the consumer pay the difference. You can't win that battle. Only way to win would be government regulation of price.
