The massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is affecting sales at local BP stations.
Some customers are vowing never to use BP gas.
Station owners say sales have fallen by up to 20 percent or more at BP stations in the state.
They say they are feeling the pinch here even though all of the gas stations are privately owned small businesses.
