Oh Gawd you doing this too, everyone at my work is doing this. So you hurt the little gas store at the corner but you ain't gonna hurt big oil, and those are the ones that count. The only way to get them to sit up and take notice is to stop driving unnecessarily everyday then they'll realize that they've priced themselves outside the market. That's what they do boost the price and see where we stop buying and then lower it until we start again and usually we start way before we should. Just think if we put our skinny pedals away for a month and just got to where we needed to be only. No wheelin', biking, quads, boats, etc. etc. Then they'd really drop those prices.
It's not going to impact the oil companies at all and the only way it might affect the local stores is if they need todays profits to pay a bill today or tomorrow which is very unlikely. I assume everyone will go back to getting gas at the same places so it makes not difference at all. As long as everyone is still driving around, the same amount of fuel is consumed. If everyone parked their auto's for a tank of gas then maybe someone would notice from the lost revenue, but even that wouldn't really matter.
