Single day gas boycotts don't work. What about only buying $10 in gas at a time? What is the advantage?

well, it doesn't really hurt them much since they've already sold the gas - the gas station might be hurting because of low cash flow but they make most of their money selling cigarettes and food. Gas weighs like 6 lbs agallon so technically if you have a huge car and a huge tank, you are carrying un-necessary weight and that affects your gas mileage - however, if you always consistently have too little gas, the gunk at the bottom of your fuel tank will affect performance so if your car is a 10-12 gallon tank, you shoudl try and keep it full - if you have some huge tank like a suburban, hen it wouldn't hurt to keep it at 20 gallons or so as long as you didn't mind the inconvience of continually gassing up.

It still won't work. You taking putting in 3 1/2 gallons. If you drive an SUV this will get you to the next station where you will have to fill up again. the best way to hurt the companies is to locate the cheapest gas and go by from there. Yeah your feeding one but the others (If it continues) will be forced to lower thier prices to compete. but all you are really doing here is hurting the employees of that station. If the station can no longer stay open you have people who lose thier jobs. I think at the station level (most are fanchise) they need to just tell the companies. "No, WE will not rise our prices." If enough station started to do this the companies that supply them the gas will have to do something. it needs to come from the station owns who are despensing the fuel. It's the only way any change can be made. We need to make a move on the station owners to have them help us in the fight for lower gas prices.

It probably could never be accomplished but one way to hurt a major gas company would be to boycott that specific major gasoline brand and shop only at another. The major brand would get way overloaded with fuel supplies and it would seriously hurt that company and the profit margin. They would get the message if we could get that through to them. One day gas boycotts won't work. These companies just laugh at the feeble attempts to boycott. Supply and demand, we use too much gas and they know we need it. Cut back and use less and they will make less.

The best advice I've heard for hurting the gas companies is....

Go ahead and buy their gas, just don't buy anything else from them (the convenience store stuff)

Buy all your groceries only from the grocery store. This will take a big bite outta their pocket, and seeing as the prices of that stuff is usually more than the grocery store prices, you'll be saving money too.
