Exxon, We don't need the money from gas sales.
They only thing you can do is hurt local franchisees with this boycott.

This was their response in full page ads to a nationwide boycott of Exxon after the Valdez accident and their refusal to pay EPA fines for the clean up.

3. It will hurt the franchisees a lot less
if people still buy drinks and stuff from the convenience marts, and just skip the gas pumps.
