At least you're thinking about the problem and trying to come up with productive methods of working with the American free market. Unfortunately, I tend to side with all the rest of these guys in that it just isn't going to work.
I'm a fan of "76" myself (That's Conoco-Phillips). When that's not available I go for "USA Gasolene" or "Shell."
I am not a fan of passing legislation to keep these sorts of things in check. If it is possible for a company to come out with cheaper gasolene, then we'll see them taking over the market. A boycott will not prompt this, but high gasolene prices on the whole. They have already begun to add higher corn alcohol content to the gas as a national standard, which will most likely lower the price in the long run.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that opening a few more oil refineries in the United States would also have some positive affect on the price.
