I'm in on the Exxon Mobil Boycott
Why not? I can buy gas in Boston from lots of other gas stations. Plus I'll drive less overall.

1. Been boycotting them since
the Valez spill many years ago. My car dealer told me that their internal memos say that the additives that they use in their gas are very bad for your engine.

4. Since the Prince William Sound spill, I've given Exxon exactly 25¢

That was because I needed air in my tires at o-dark thirty one morning and the independently-own station's air pump was broken; the next nearest station was Exxon. I was pressed for time.

5. I say BOYCOTT those little eichmanns at Exxon
We pay for the wars with our tax dollars so Exxon can make profit. Of the 15 nations that supply oil to the USA, only three are in the Persian Gulf (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq). Therefore, we don't really need Arab oil to survive. But we send our military to the Middle East so Exxon and the other little eichmanns can make money.

Here's the breakdown of the 15 countries that supply oil to the USA....
