Sounds like a solution.. I have have often wished for the kind of funds that would allow me to do something like that, but that is pie in the sky wishing as they say. What is needed is a legal version of the old west Necktie party for the Big Oil Executives (Hang them politically, not physically) but how to do that I have no clue other than talk talk talk till someone listens.
I know, "but we'll still buy the same amount of gas...". The effectiveness isn't about the demand being reduced but the interruption to the distribution at the filling stations. There will be lot of finger-pointing when the milk goes sour and filling station shelves are erratically stocked.
The boycott tactic was used successfully in Canada vs. BP.
