2. Last year's boycott might have done it
I know the BP station that I pass twice a workday had very few cars at it when the well was still spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

5. I have heard that one local owner switched due decline in business, his personal feelings, and his
Contract was up.

3.  BP
I can't understand why anyone would purchase products at a BP. Here in Minnesota no one seems to care or even think of the Gulf destruction!
BPs are crowded when I see them.

6. I bought gas from BP Friday before last.
By accident. It was 10 cents cheaper than the other places and had the same price, cash or credit.

It was only after the guy began pumping that I went "FUCK! It's a BP station!" :banghead:

7. since the spill I got gas at a BP about 2 or 3 times
Only because I was so low on gas I wouldn't have made anywhere else...poor planning on my part.

8. I usually buy Cumberland Farms gas or Citgo
Those two stations around here charge the same cash or credit. The other places charge 10 cents more per gallon for credit cards, the fuckers.


They didn't do that in Minnesota! :grr:
