According to the AP (BP giving financial help to stations), BP is going to provide some financial help to their gas stations to help offset declining sales as a result of boycotts.

This could work if, in fact, the station owners pass on the savings to the consumers, as the best way to dissuade boycotters is to have the cheapest gas on the block.  The degree to which the rebate to stations noted in the piece will allow station owners to accomplish such a feat is another question entirely.
