Gas boycott * USA - Largely ignored by local motorists
Boycott, schmoycott. Tucson, Arizona -The Arizona Daily Star, by Shelley Shelton -16 May 2007: -- That seemed to be the attitude of people filling their gas tanks at local stations Tuesday — a day that had been designated through e-mail and word-of-mouth as a time to boycott gas stations in protest of record-high gas prices... Tucson's average gas price held steady at $2.99, just a penny below what is largely a symbolic price benchmark as locals feel the pinch anyway... "We need it. We have to buy it. There's nothing we can do," said Ted Sanchez, 70, when he finished gassing up at the Arco AM/PM Market at South Park Avenue and East Benson Highway...
