Thing is, the companies aren't independently operating monolithic supply
organizations. Here in Long Beach, CA Exxon-Mobil is filling up their tanker
trucks at the Arco refinery. Up in the bay area, they might fill 'em at the
Shell refinery. In Louisiana, Shell and Arco trucks are filling at the Mobil
refinery. There's no effective way to boycott a specific company. The only
solution is to use less fuel.
