Boycott Exxon-Mobile, they are the US oil industries largest fuel
distributor.

It is very simple, you boycott the nations largest oil company, use
any other service station if consumers can reduce fuel revenues for
Exxon-Mobile, the rest of the industry will realize we are not going
to take it anymore.

As the dollar is worth less, it takes MORE OF THEM to buy the same amount of
goods. That's Economics 101, sir.

If that were the case the oil industry would maintain it's 8 to 10
billion dollars of profit after inflation, not the 50 to 80 Billion
dollars in current profits. Profits for the oil companies have
climbed 600 to 800% since 9-11 2001.

US annual inflation hovers around 3.5% per year, so a 28% inflation
adjustment could be expected not 600%.

The economics do not support your claim and even if they did, the
driving force in our economic system is your customer base when Exxon-
Mobile loses customers you wil see dramatic changes, through-out the
industry.
