Pretty much the same here, albeit I'm a bit thankful I earn a good living and don't have a family to support so I don't feel the pinch as fast.

But ya just can't expect everyone to be able to get gas from one station. And even if you accepted long lines, the individual company's don't have the capacity to refine & transport it. What's the biggest effect? The other guys close their stations and save on payroll, and wholesale the gas to the one station everyone's buying at...and since they no longer have payroll, their profits tick up a bit higher?

Exxon and Mobil are both the same company, so no sense boycotting one one month, the other another. Then yesterday I saw a TT with a Cumberland Farms Tractor (They own the Gulf brand now), hauling a Trailer that said Exxon.

Some of the other stuff can certainly help, especially individuals. Some I think is out of date -- the windows rolled down was based on '70s era air conditioners. My understanding today it actually hurts 'cause the wind resistance uses more energy to overcome than the newer, more efficient AC designs.
