Default Boycott Esso - A Solution??

I've thought about this a bit, and discussed it with a few people, who seem to agree if it could be organized, it would probably work. We all know that gas is being sold at prices well above market value right now, and basically the gas companies are f***ing us over. They are doing it simply because of our fears, and because they can.

If we could get everyone to boycott a single gas company (my pick is Esso due to claims that it is the #1 global warmer in the world), that company would be forced to reduce its prices in order to regain business. Everyone should refuse to buy gas at this company until it lowers prices. Repeat until we are satisfied.

So is this a feasible solution? What are the problems with it, and can they be worked around? How would this be organized?
