It would be nice to be able to boycott a specific oil company if we wanted to. However, my understanding from what I was reading during the Citgo kerfluffle is that the name on the station is actually not very closely connected to which company is profiting from sales of gasoline at that station.
Has anyone written anything in depth that follows the money from point-of-sale gas pumps up to big oil? I'd be really interested in reading it to have a better understanding of the economics.
