From: Brent on 5 Jun 2010 03:31 Since gasoline is fungible and the manner in which it is distributed combined with that the boycotters are not using any less of it, it's a pointless boycott. Corporate BP is going to make money either way. Sure the corporately owned gas stations wouldn't make as much money or even lose money but the gasoline would just be wholesaled out to the other brand's stations. It's not like BP is going to let their share at the other end of the pipe go bad. They'll sell it and another company will add their additive packages and take it to their stations. Basically the only people who could be hurt by this boycott are any remaining independents or francises selling BP gasoline and those with jobs at the BP corporate gas stations. BP will just weather it or maybe shutter some gas stations.

We tend to fill ours at one of the Walmarts that have a Murphy USA on the property, or a Sam's that has gas (which not all of them do in metro Houston, as our closest one closed a couple of months ago, making for a two-mile farther trip to the one at Westpark and South Rice). -- Patrick "The Chief Instigator" Humphrey (patrick(a)io.com) Houston, Texas www.prismnet.com/~patrick/aeros.php (TCI's 2009-10 Houston Aeros) AA#2273 LAST GAME: San Antonio 3, Houston 2 (April 11) NEXT GAME: The 2010-11 opener, in October 2010
