This makes more sense then the silly "Don't Buy Mobil Gas" b.s. that went around last time fuel
prices went up. A couple of extra points to consider along with this message:
- A lot of the "good" companies listed have most of their stations east of CA, so us "Left Coasties"
should go for ARCO (owned by BP/Phillps)
- Park the SUV and use a bike. Better for you AND the economy.
- Carpool: Remember, when you ride alone, you ride with bin Laden. (adjusted from the WW II gas
rationing poster "When you ride alone, you ride with ******"
So let's send a message....
