Whoever created that knows nothing about the market, The problem isn't
Exxon/Mobil but supply and demand coupled with the fact that no new refinery
has been created in over 25 years which means any problem with any other
refinery screws with production and one in Oklahoma just had a fire screwing
with its output.

Exxon/Mobil also sells gas to all the other companies so they still make the
money regardless of people buying at their pumps, this idea is almost as
stupid as the one where they want people not to buy gas from anyone for a
day
