Gas boycott doesn’t attract motorists

Monday, May 3, 1999 | 9:03 a.m.

Foster's Texaco owner David Foster said his station was busier than ever.

"A boycott like that isn't going to work," he said. "By not buying their gas today, they'll buy it tomorrow."

Daniel Murry, a customer at Lakeside-Plumb 76 Station, said he had no choice but to fill up.

"I would've done it," he said. "But I had to fill up today. I feel the prices are too high and if enough people did it, it would've made a difference."
