There was a very memorable moment when we were caravaning with my parents, and we both exited for gas; we were following my parents. There were 2 gas stations, a BP and a... something else. We saw the BP price, drove past feeling all "aw yeah we ain't gonna buy from you, BP!", hit the Other Gas Station, saw it was five cents more per gallon than the BP, and immediately turned around and drove back to the BP. My parents did the exact same thing. Hard to be ethical when you're broke, heh.<br /><br />Also, I read this whole interesting thing one of my LJ friends posted from her dad, who is some super duper smart scientist who works in the oil industry or something, and he was telling her about how BP is more into the manufacturing of oil than the selling anymore, and that most or all of the BP gas stations aren't actually owned by BP anymore, they were bought out by individuals but have to keep the BP name for a certain number of years, so by not buying from them you're actually hurting individual businesses but not really affecting BP all that much. I don't know how true that is, but I used it to comfort myself anyway.Kristi Nommensen Dorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326921721243987437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843779064209131360.post-45917657519321902342010-07-10T14:43:12.459-07:002010-07-10T14:43:12.459-07:00The Visa rewards card actually costs more points t...The Visa rewards card actually costs more points than the other cards.

You know, the one that's just a cash value..then you could use that for any brand of gas! I know our Visa rewards card offers that.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623563495465643395noreply@blogger.com
