Question: In my small town here in east Tennessee we are boycotting Exxon Mobil and Shell Texaco stores. The impact have been wonderful. They are selling zilch. No Cigarettes, Bread, Beer , LOtto tickets. Gross sales are down tremendously. Gas prices are dropping as we speak and customers are refuse to return. They found that everything they were buying at so call convenience stores was contained by some cases 200% above the grocery chain and supercenter prices. Thank you EXXON MOBIL ....We are going to miss you.

Answers:
I notice that you left out any sort of specifics high regard the situation in this "small town contained by east Tennessee." How can you actually confirm that their "gross sale are down trememdously." They could be selling their fuel to the next gas station over for equal price that you would have remunerated originally. That's the whole pretext why boycotts don't work. Because all gas stations around the country are contained by cahoots with respectively other.

Anyway, here's the mythbuster for this urban legend: http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp
