Drove by a familiar gas station in Scranton PA the other day but something had changed! It used to be a BP station but they removed anything that associated it with BP. The price of the gas was lower then other stations by a fair amount but there was no one at the station.

I would agree that the worst thing that could happen is for BP to go out of business and not be able to pay their debt. But at the same time you must wonder if you support a company that created the worst natural disaster of all time at the expense of other companies. Is it like supporting the failing insurance companies (AIG) and large investment firms because they are too big to fail?

BTW I don't buy insurance from AIG and keep what little money I have hid in a mattress that the watch dog (Molly) sleeps on. But I do buy the cheapest gas I can find and am thankful that I have an electric golf cart so I don't have to buy any more gas from anyone!
