"Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL"


This wont work, Gasoline prices are determined by total supply and total demand. Boycotting two companies. wont change total supply or total demand.

If people car pooled, it would greatly reduce demand and supply inventories would build. Prices would fall quickly

Exxonmobil is now one company, the biggest revenue and profit maker in the world, by a good margin.

It's bordering on anti-trust. In fact, it's basically Standard Oil 2.0

I know this stuff too.
