I don't know where this guy comes from but he is clue less. IT WON"T WORK.
And Exxon doesn't set the price. If they can't sell their product to the
public then they sell it to the other company that's selling it. So in the
long run if you boycott Exxon they make more money because the cost of
getting their product to market is reduced.

Again I will say the only way that the oil companies will lower their price
is if we reduce consumption in a big way.
