Well a lot of companies both big and small do that. LOL. Companies mismanage themselves all the time.
They hate to shut down the refineries because it cost them money. They wait to long sometimes.

I had to pick up the wife from work yesterday. The tank was very low and the gas prices are very high (around $4.40 a gallon )

I didn't want to buy any gas but I had no choice so I put a bit in.

Let's see, did it work in 99? How about in 2000? Well maybe the third time's the charm in 01. Still no luck! A one day boycott of gas won't do jack....! Never has/ never will!

The only one that gets hurt on a boycott is the small gas station owner. He only makes a few pennies off every gallon, he makes his money when you stop and come in to buy a soda. If people really cared they would first stop buying the big SUVs then the car compines have to make cars more like the HHR that gets great MPG. Then demand then goes down and so will the price.

my Oh yes I boycotted buying on the 15th cause I did like most people a filled up on the 14th, so all I did was make them more money that day instead.
