You can't protest by boycott unless you plan on just buying no gas, at all. Not buying on a certain day just means you'll buy more the next. Not buying from a certain station is even dumber. Gas is fungible so if you boycott Exxon Mobile, they'll just sell to BP. In the end everyone gets the same money. All you'll do is hurt the poor guys running the station. Gas prices are the fault of the dollar destroying policies we've embraced, and speculators not learning their lesson from the housing bubble. It has precious little to do with the gas companies. The cost of oil has risen much more than the price of gas.
