This is a good idea... better than any of the gasoline boycotts I've ever heard of. Instead of deciding not to buy gas on one particular day, the plan is to *never* buy gas from Exxon/Mobil stations. The idea is that Exxon/Mobil will lower prices to get customers back, and it will trigger a gas price war that will lower the price at the pump at stations nationwide.
This is easy for me, because I always buy gas at Shell anyway. I've got a Shell credit card that refunds me 5% of any purchases I make from them. So this boycott means I won't have to make any changes at all. In any case, I heartily support boycotting Exxon/Mobil. I realize that foreign oil prices are rising, but the current price spike can't *entirely* be the fault of Middle Eastern oil barons.

If you really care about knowing what that all means, you either know the code already, or you can get it decoded for you here.
