Do you think not buying things other than gasoline at gas stations would help lower gas prices?

One of the best ways to fight gasoline prices is for consumers to boycott gas stations' convenience stores. Pay cash where possible; do not use an oil company credit card, because you are paying an even higher price when the interest rate is figured in at the end of every month. At convenience stores, purchase gasoline only and avoid shopping inside--no cigarettes, sodas, chips, beer, candy, lottery tickets, or any item we can buy at local grocery stores. Gas stations have a tremendous mark-up on all aforementioned items, and that's where they make 100% profits. By boycotting gas stations' convenience stores, we can force them into competition among themselves and therefore make them lower prices to attract our business.
