Nope. You may very well be getting BP gas at a Gulf station anyway. The gas stations are independent franchises and sometime get gas from other companies depending on supply and demand issues.
While I realize that it will not make a bit of difference for BP But yes I will no longer use BP nor do I use Exxon, I do not do this for the convenience but simply not to be hypocritical and blame them for the spill while still using their products. I can just hope that more do this and with numbers we can at least reduce their profits, which in turn will make it less appealing for the shareholders and thus take them down a notch, One can always hope.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
