To prevent gas prices from continuing to rise, many people are beginning to boycott Mobil and exon. They are the two biggest companies and if they start to loose customers, gas prices will come down. Farmers use a lot of petroleum products and if we boycott it will make a diference.

I have a 1992 ford 250 pick up with a 460 ci engine, loves gas,in warm weather I fill up with E-85,( That's 85% ETHEL ALCOHAL,corn whiskey, and 15% gasoline) after a tank or two runs ok, a little lean cold, but lot's more power. I'm only giving the oil companys 15% check it out.

the price of fuel now is just a way of oil companies have to force the people into allowing them to drill where they want...it is because we now have a guy running the country that is for big oil and gas...the thing you don't think about is why EXXON is #1 because of the money made overseas..why sell gasoline here for 1.50 when they can get 4.50 for it in other countries..come on guys i hate exxon as much as anyone after they sold the company i worked for for 24 years but it is like one person said that trucks are unmarked...refineries just dump what additives is required for each company that gas is going to, so boycotting one company will not help that much , what would help is to take fewer trips to town or out period and get vehicles that use less then the price would come down because they would have more than they can sell..i went through the other shortages working for exxon and getting chewed on because of gas problems think about it we now have a president and vice-president that own so much of oil stock so figure it out guys and get ready for higher prices until they get what they want...later

who pays cannonball??we pay,we always pay,the govt.doesn't have any money of it's own,just what it gets from us.if there is a surplus,it's because the people were overtaxed.if you bought a burger that cost 1$ and were charged 2$ and asked for your change,and they told you this overpayment was surplus and you didn't have any right to it would that mean it isn't your money?of course not.kinda leaves you feeling screwed.and he's not my boy,i voted against gore,and he was the best chance to keep him out.the votes were counted 5 times,gore lost all 5.if gore had won his own state,florida wouldn't have mattered.he lost tenn.because he said he didn't have much use for farmers in a speech at a teachers union fund raiser.cut his own throat he did.if gore isn't your guy,then i apoligize...wrenchman...ps. what happens in a short time??we get screwed,as always.

How much stock did that other stupid jerk own? Where was his priority when he was in office besides what was going on under the oval desk? When ever there was to be a new refinnery built everybody screams "not in my back yard and the 2 guys in control were hot on "protecting our enviroment". That is also why we got all the imports from china.This is something that did not start in the last 105 days!!!!!

Well, I wonder if it would do any good to contact you local representative and tell him or her, as may be the case, how much paying so much for gasoline has made you have to cut back on buying the other things that are less essential to maintaining your lifestyle. Complain to all the other merchants, salespeople, "charity promoters", and anyone else you are providing money, in whatever way, for whatever reason, how fuel prices have made you have to cut back on your spending amounts. It's gonna take a total unified effort to bring pressure on the greedy oil companies and distributors, they've got an awful lot of power and a lot of people in the right places, not to even mention an abundance of money. As consumers, we've got no clout unless we are able to get other elements in the whole economic picture to help us fight "Big Oil". It seems to me to be only fair because the extra money we're spending on fuel cannot be spent on other things, things as essential as food, and, as luxurious as diamonds, and everything in between.

Exxon bought Mobil years ago. The name of the new company is ExxonMobil. And no, I won't boycott them. They sell great products, especially their synthetic lubricants. And besides, gas prices are set by the DISTRIBUTOR, not the oil companies, and at least where I live are all the same. That's right, every gas station sells gas for exactly the same price.

US farm report's "Samuelson Says" last week he had a talk about the high energy prices. He said that Mobil-Exxon inc. profits rose 51% in the last year if I remember right. They claimed that "are production costs have gone up, so we are passing on those costs to the consumer". Pure B.S.

Are you saying buy gas from somebody elsoe besides Exxon and Mobil - who else is there that is any different. Unless you're not going to use petroleum products at all there isn't much you can do to affect any oil company - and you probably can't ride a horse to work.

I wish it could be as simple as boycotting the gas companies. There is an oil refinery just a few
miles down the road from me. There are a lot of tank trucks go past my house 24hrs a day. Bear in mind too that most of these trucks are unmarked as
to what brand of gasoline they are carrying. If we boycott one or two brands, it will make no never mind to the refineries, they will turn out just as much gasoline as before. If Texaco starts
selling more gasoline than Mobil, because Mobil has been boycotted. The Mobil refinery will simply
sell gasoline to Texaco. Refineries keep each others' gas stations supplied.

The only way we will ever get the oil companies to really listen, is if we all drive a little less. For many people that will be impossible. For
many of us, myself included, we just need to start to plan our day a little better. Stop making the trips a couple miles down the road to the convenience store for a loaf of bread. Then in the evening have to run back down there to get a jug of milk.
That's how I feel about the situation, now I better get off the stage.

The way I understand this boycott movement is that folks pretty much have accepted that on the wholesale level they can't affect the gas companies very much. Instead there will be a movement to affect them at the retail level. If they aren't selling gas, they also won't be selling cigarettes, beer, beef jerky, etc in their convenience stores. The problem is that this won't affect the execs and policy makers much, but will impact the poor feller working for minimum wage and the feller managing the store that's just as mad about gas prices as the rest of us.

You don't have to boycott anyone else!

We know that we need gas to get to work. Instead of everyone boycotting this station or that, they simple picked the largest company and boycott them. The idea is their sales will fall and soon they will cut prices to draw business. As they go down people will purchase from the lower price station and that should cause each brand to lower prices a bit.

We can't take on everyone at once, that's why someone suggested one at a time and started with the largest!

Will it work? Who knows! I don't use Exxon myself, but there are stations in my area.

We'll see as time passes.
