I don't think you understand PV. Most of the gas/oil comes from the same place. Whether it's Esso, Shell, Petro Canada, Corner Gas, or the independant BumbleFuck Gas Station down the street, the supply trucks are still coming from the same place. A rotating boycott is pretty much as stupid as a one day gas out idea. At it will have as much impact as well. Which is zero. But fine, if you peons wish to kick the sleeping giant, go ahead. Just don't come running back to us when the giant ratchets up the price per litre to show you little knats who's really in charge. Face it, we are at the mercy of the gas/oil cartel, and as long as we all continure to collectively slobber, drool, and pull up our fossil fuel burning modes of transportation to the pumps to get our fix, the gas/oil cartels have us over a barrel.
