Re: Where To Buy You Gas
this has been posted before and proved not to work before. Oil is a commodity (sp?) You can't change the price of it by boycotting certian brands. Also the companys that don't report buying midle eastern oil are just buying from a broker who buys it from the middle east. There just isn't enough oil elswhere to support our ussage. In order to affect the prices of oil we have to just plain use less fuel, not for a day not for a week, and not just from certian companys, we have to use less fuel period and keep using less fule. I don't see it happening any time soon though.
