Only way to deal with these giants is to mass boycott their fuel garages, it will let them know we are not going to stand for it.

Trouble is though we the British/English cannot stick together on anything, so it will never happen.
Fuel sales is not where they make the bulk of their money - it is oil exploration. For BP when they price of oil is approx $40 a barrel that is their break even point. At the moment it is well over $100 a barrel so as the cost of exploration is fixed then it becomes all profit unless it is reinvested.
