Poll: Does the BP oil spill affect your gas purchasing?

Does the BP oil spill affect your gas purchasing?

I wasn't buying gas from them to begin with, but if I was, I wouldn't be now (unless I lived in some rural area or something and it was the only thing around).

no.

I don't use them anyway they are always more expensive in my area then other gas stations.

the prices have actually gone down

I haven't owned a car since 2003xaos

It hasn't worked since 2003 :evil:

No i can't say it will..i'll buy gas from wherever i am when i need it..

no never bought from them to begin with, and now NEVER will.

And for the record, this is an absolute nightmare. WE WILL ALL have to deal with this, one way or another. This is histories greatest tragedy.

Not really, never bought from them anyway.

No because we don't have any BPs here.

I don't, not becuase of the spill but becuase they are always usually the most expensive no matter where I go.

There isn't a BP where I live, so no.

i would never buy a drop of gas from them. 11 people died due to there cheap carelessnes they did the biggest oil spill in history . i hope the government takes every penny they make to help save jobs and the envourment

i have to get around somehow...
taking the bus sucks sometimes...

There isn't a BP to be found anywhere near me. Besides if I needed gas I and they were on the corner of the road I would get gas! Hey crap happens in life.

As a Brit, i am just curious. A standard full tank of PETROL (gas is not a liquid, it is a, you guessed it, GAS!) is about £40. Now i don't know the exchange rate. About $70 give or take.

As far as i know, Americans get it a lot cheaper. Wouldn't paying just a bit more be something to consider? Then maybe you wouldn't use so much... Just a thought, what you think?

The boycott is stupid. Regardless of what caused the spill, we definitely don't need less competition in the oil market.guynamedbilly

I didn't go to BP regularly before, but I would go if it was convienent, now I'll go out of my way to avoid going to a BP. I guess buying from other gas companies isn't that much better which makes me wish all the more that there was a viable alternative, but if BP gets through this and goes back to posting enourmous profits then other companies won't see the incentive to put failsafes into place and I hope at the very least something that comes out of all this is that offshore drilling is made safer by these precautions being implemented.

No, but they chose not to implement the proper failsafes, they chose not to have enough qualified people in place to be monitoring for this, and they're choosing right now to downplay the impact of this and cover up what is actually going on in the Gulf right now. If they get away with doing these things that sends the message that this is acceptable behavior and opens the door for other companies to follow.

No, it hasn't affected it, but that's because I don't buy any gas. :P

The best thing would be to boycot petrol in general, suck it up, make sacrifices and demand change to better and more eficient energy sources.

As for the topic... if there were any BP stations around, I wouldn't hesitate to get gas from them if I needed it.

Hypocrite. For stating i was ignorant i clearly wrote, 'Just a thought' and 'just curious'.

Enlighten me, why is that post so obnoxiously ignorant?

And to whoever said we all earn more. That is ignorant in itself. You clearly have never been to Britain. We are not all rich folk here... i live in a council flat. Pretty meagre wealth. Just about pay for food and enough for the occasional treat. We can't afford what you might call cable. My standing is rife in this country.

Yup, I agree with pretty much all of what you've said. And as you say, we're not as rich as people think.

It's pretty funny how the US is hounding down BP, but remains quiet about Bhopal, which was far far FAR worse. Obama should realise that BP is a multinational corporation owned 39% by Americans (and has more US employees than British) and the rig where the pipe burst was in the American branch of the business anyway. And him calling BP 'British Petroleum' (which it hasn't been called in years, since 1998 I think?) to aim the blame at the British is him simply trying to avoid criticism.
