You do know that BP does NOT own those stations? They are locally owned
by
people who buy the gas from the company. Boycotting them doesn't do a
damn
thing. Do you also know that BP is the only oil company that does NOT do
business with Arabs?

Not only that, but the gas they are buying most likely didn't COME from BP,
either... since all of it goes to the spot market and is bought back by
various companies (not to mention that a large number of companies buy their
gas from the same batch at the same refineries..)

Raw gasoline is generic, but major brands have their own proprietary mix
of additives which is mixed in at the terminal.
