Theoretically boycotting one gas company could bring down prices, first of the boycotted company due to excess supply then from the others to compete. But it would require waaaay more organization than a one day boycott sort of thing.
Might work on a micro level too within one city.

But it DOESN'T work, because the gas companies sell to eachother as well. So if everyone boycotted Exxon, they'd just sell their gas to BP and laugh all the way to the bank.

Good point. And it certainly wouldn't have worked with the idea in the email centaur got either.
*shrug* Stop driving. It's the only way to quit using gas.
