I'm saying a boycott of an individual oil producer is. If you want to do something about the power of oil companies the avenue is reduced consumption across the board in real numbers. Not silly boycotts to try to discredit the Borg.

Branding doesn't matter because there is no real competition. Neither Citgo nor any other provider can produce enough to replace what Exxon produces. Simple geological, politcal, and economic realities.

A boycott may hurt the franchises. As has been pointed out. That is only hurting a small business person. Exxon wouldn't even flinch.
