Several folks have said to boycott Mobile and Exxon, okay, so how do you find out who they supply?

From basic economics, a price ceiling would just cause massive shortages and gas lines just as you saw in the 1970s.  It's trading one problem for another problem.  Whether this is desirable is debatable.  There are price ceilings for various things out there, such as rent.  There's some info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_ceiling\n\nYour other solution about boycotting just one company is just another urban legend floating around.\n\nBoycotting Exxon isn't going to work to bring down prices.  If everyone stopped buying from Exxon and used the other providers, then the other providers would run out of gas pretty quickly due to supply and demand chain effects.  What would happen is that they would buy their gas from Exxon and overall all prices would go up, not down.\n\nFull mythbuster at Snopes.\n\nhttp://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp\n\nTo lower gas prices, you have to lower demand, which includes things like carpooling, public transportation, alternative sources of energy, and better milage vehicles.

Simply - BOYCOTT! \n\nI refuse to shop at Walmart. I wont buy gas from any of the Major Oil Companies. Unfortunately, we all need phone service, and in the 80's the feds broke up the phone company monopoloy - but it has rebuilt itself! So, boycott the govt, and dont elect greedy republicans to any position! If no one shopped at Walmart, they wouldnt be making money...

Why don't you email them and get the answers. Any Publically traded company has to disclose that information.\n\nI can assure you GM spends more on coffee in a qtr, than you and I make in a year.

You need to contact those particular local governments... since each can vary a great deal. I personally have no clue since I nor anyone I know live in a mobil home or trailer park.

Hrm... sounds like your mom is picking a whipping boy.  Oil companies are responsible for the price of oil.  Punishing charities for high gas prices is like beating your kids because your neighbors kids stole your mailbox.  \n\nOnly two ways I can think of for consumers to affect to price of oil:\n\n1)  Quit using so much.  When the demand goes down, so will the price.  Oil conservation and alternative fuel sources can do a lot to lessen the price at the pump.\n\n2)  Selective boycotting.  Boycotting is the consumer's most effective method of getting what they want out of the corporations that serve them.  Unfortunately, few boycots accomplish anything.  Much like a labor strike, a boycot must be well organized, direct, and limited.  For instance, a consumer protection union could organize its members to boycot one particular gasoline provider in a local area.  If they made it clear to the gasoline company exactly how much money they would lose, the company could be induced to offer a discount to union members.  This works out for both parties.  The union members get cheaper gas from a particular company, which gives them a reason to ALWAYS buy their gas from that company.  In this way, the company reduces it's margin but increases it's sales (including sales of drinks, beef jerky, cheap sunglasses, cigarettes, and all the other crap that gas stations make money on).  \n\nSlightly off topic, a few points to consider for those adherents of Marketpressurism who maintain that the federal government has no control over the price of oil:\n\nThe US federal government is the world's largest consumer of petroleum products.  Simply by increasing their consumption (such as by sending thousands of tons of people, vehicles, military and construction equipment, etc. halfway across the world) they can have a significant effect on global demand.\n\nThe US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is the largest government-owned emergency oil stockpile on earth.  By varying the rate at which we fill the Reserve or by okaying the release of some Reserve stock into the circulating supply, the executive branch of government can have a very direct effect on oil prices.\n\nSince the majority of oil consumed in America is produced abroad, the price of oil is very dependant on how much oil foreign countries are willing to sell to the US.  By pressuring or working out deals with foreign governments that supply oil, the federal government can have a large influence on the available supply, thus lowering prices.\n\nIf a government heavily funds and supports alternative fuel development and conservation measures, they can actively reduce oil consumption throughout the country.  This reduces the price of oil, albeit slowly.

The boycott will work, Exxon won't let themselves go out of business!  We're not asking for free gas, and we're not trying to run them out of business!  We just want them to stop getting away with so much profit!  And there is no way anyone can dare tell me that they don't make profit, here is a NY Times article about the CEO's freakin salary, this gets me so FIRED UP!!!\n\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/15/business/15pay.html?ex=1302753600&en=89993dc20e1e7e97&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

I stopped buying Pepsi when they paid Michael Jackson a ton of money to sell it. There is a local car dealership I would never go to because they insult people with the dumb commercials they run. Boycotting is the only way to express your disatisfaction, unfortunately, most of the time these big corporations don't ever know they are being boycotted. Keep it up though, at least you have that satisfaction as I do.

You'll see after a few days the boycott will show the great \nimpact it caused on the U.S.. A few people will be speechless.

You're going to have to pay to find out a cell phone via a reverse lookup site.  But you might have some luck if you go to Reversephonedirectory.com.  \n\nEnter the phone number and it will most likely tell you who the carrier is. Once you know that, contact the carrier and lodge a complaint against the user.  You might even get the person's phone shut off.  \n\nIf the phone carrier can't help you, call your local police department and give them the number.  They have the means to look up cell phone numbers and you might have an opportunity to press charges for harrassment.
