Interesting one this.
While supporting the principal of this, how can one boycott what is an essential commodity to most and has a pricing cartel in this area?
Drive to another town every time you need to fill up?
I would suspect that those who drive to other towns where fuel is cheaper as part of work etc. would already fill up there.
This leaves just those who need to fill up here who have no alternative.
Perhaps Mr. Swift-Half could explain better how this boycott is to be effected?
