I'm all for boycotting the stations to bring down the price.
Think about this: If all of chose to not buy gas on one day of the week, what would happen?

Here's the deal, though: If there was a sudden fall-off in traffic through the stations on one particular day, regardless (or even in support) of more traffic the following day/s, the disruption of the supply chain still takes place. I'm not only talking about fuel supply but ALL of the other stuff like doughnuts, milk, etc., the stuff that the stations really make their money on. I know this was done successfully in Canada a few years back. Now, who has a Kevlar vest and wants to start the boycott? :B
