Unfortunately, there is no way to know what gas you are buying at any gas stations. Exxon supplies gas to many more gas stations than you think. In fact, most Shell gas stations actually have Exxon gas! So, although a good idea in theory, it's impossible to carry out.

It's commonly known these schemes DO NOT WORK, and by commonly I guess I mean that only idiots think anything like this has even a slight chance of changing anything.

posting a repost and then complaining about other people posting crap just you raise their 'points' is a classic example of the pot calling the kettle black.

sweet. you have the support of 12 people now! all you need is to grab hold of the, say, 100 million other consumers of these two largest companies.

thats the most retarded thing i've heard. why doesn't everyone stop buying apple so they reduce the price of their dual G5's to say, $300, and then we can all buy one?

get real.

The ones screaming the loudest are smoking three packs a day at ~4.00 a pack!

Now if gasoline prices continue to increase perhaps the stations will put their cigarette prices in big letters like they did in the 70's when they were cheaper than the gas they were selling.

As long as they don't start that silly sh­it with odd and even dates with the last digit of your license plate. Oh hell what do I care anymores anyways? :p

You're a moron. Stop posting.

Supply and Demand is what drives prices. Unfortunately, supply is limited and demand has never been higher and looks to keep increasing.

Get used to high gas prices, it's only going to get worse.
