I’m getting sick of posting this: > **[Selective Gasoline Boycott](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gas-out/)** > > Will participating in a boycott of selected oil companies lower gasoline prices? > A boycott of a couple of brands of gasoline won’t result in lower overall prices. Prices at all the non-boycotted outlets would rise due to the temporarily limited supply and increased demand, making the original prices look cheap by comparison. The shunned outlets could then make a killing by offering gasoline at its “normal” (i.e., pre-boycott) price or by selling off their output to the non-boycotted companies, who will need the extra supply to meet demand. The only person who really gets hurt in this proposed scheme is the service station operator, who has almost no control over the price of gasoline. > > The only practical way of reducing gasoline prices is through the straightforward means of buying _less_ gasoline, not through a simple and painless scheme of just shifting _where_ we buy it. The inconvenience of driving less is a hardship too many people apparently aren’t willing to endure, however. ---

> [@misteroman$$$](#): > > Would it make any difference if nobody bought gas from a certain company? > i.e. No one bought gas from citgo for a week.What would happen? > D yea it would make a difference. the company u no longer buy gas from will eventually lower their price because of no buisiness. when that company lowers their then everyone will go buy gas from them instead of other places. eventually other places will lower their price to compete. and when they go lower u choose a different gas station to go on strike with. then u get even lower prices. the prices wont stay low but when u see gas going up again jus go on strike again. and the people will be in control like its suppose to be. but in order for this to work everyone would have to follow this and we would need a lot of people. ---

I’ve been making it a point to at least buy gas only at Citgo when I can. I know that its nearly impossible for one person to make a difference. I feel though, that buying gas from a company NOT based in the middle east is the right thing to do. ---

this shit is annoying. because you stop buy gas on one day doesnt mean that your not going to fill up another day. what, fill up on thursday or saturday and not friday. either way they got your money coming to them. and if you dont fill up, well then your not going anywhere unless you peddle your ass there or pay some other way to get around. ---
