40% of BP stocks are owned by Americans and American institutions. Less competition will also hurt consumers. I think BP (and Arco) are good because they tend to have lower price that keeps other gas stations from raising prices too high.

[quote=meadandale]I’d like to see Obama and his administration continue to ‘go off’ on BP and villify them. If their stock price continues to dive they’ll end up filing for bankruptcy. When Obama gets stuck with the cleanup bill because he’s driven BP out of business…it should get interesting.[/quote]
