One of the many flaws is the American personal consumer thinking that by filling up twice a week, they can make a difference. For any boycott to have any prayer to work (and I won't even conceed that it would), you would have to enlist the heavier users - long haul trucking companies, the airlines, the bus companies and the various state and local fleets. The large consumers make up the majority of fuel purchased in the US on any given day.
