11 March 2004 I do indeed support the campaign to boycott Esso (ExxonMobil). I do not purchase petrol from this company, and have not done so for more than 2 years now. This corporation (whatever its motives and I cant judge these), has consistently ignored, undermined or in other ways distorted, the emerging international scientific knowledge which clearly points towards a significant and growing human influence on global climate through our emissions of greenhouse gases. It is my personal view that this reality and future prospect requires serious and sustained efforts on the part of all nations, organizations and individuals to reduce the underlying causes of human-induced climate change. ExxonMobils position and explicit political lobbying thwarts rather than progresses such actions. Mike Hulme

Some people are very naive.
In the UK petrol has been generally distributed by 'Pool' since WW2, at least amongst the majors. There are exceptions for odd blends and some private importers/suppliers.
What this means even today is that at say a BP filling station the tanker that supplied it will draw from the nearest depot which might be Esso or Shell etc.
Kindest Regards
