Thing is, the companies aren't independently operating monolithic supply organizations. Here in Long Beach, CA Exxon-Mobil is filling up their tanker trucks at the Arco refinery. Up in the bay area, they might fill 'em at the Shell refinery. In Louisiana, Shell and Arco trucks are filling at the Mobil refinery. There's no effective way to boycott a specific company. The only solution is to use less fuel.
