Have been wondering about the bacteria and oxygen levels. Any idea how fast oxygen levels are declining? Suspect the natural bacteria that can metabolize oil are already growing rapidly. Will mobile marine life have enough time/warning to vacate the area, or will it become a killing zone? Strongly agree that just dumping oil eating bacteria into the water may turn a disaster into a mega-disaster.

The Oppenheimer Formula has NEVER been delisted by the EPA - it was the first on the list in 1991 and has been on ever since without interruption. Any reference to the contrary is untrue.

EJ, I have yet to see another BP station in my area take down their BP signage. GT TH finance.yahoo.com Full Story At Link Harry R. Weber, AP Business Writer, On Sunday June 27, 2010, 2:14 pm EDT Tension is mounting between BP and the neighborhood retailers that sell its gasoline. As more Americans shun BP gasoline as a form of protest over the Gulf oil spill, station owners are insisting BP do more to help them convince motorists that such boycotts mostly hurt independently owned businesses, not the British oil giant. To win back customers, they'd like the company's help in reducing the price at the pump. BP owns just a fraction of the more than 11,000 stations across the U.S. that sell its fuel under the BP, Amoco and ARCO banners. Most are owned by local businessmen whose primary connection to the oil company is the logo and a contract to buy gasoline. In recent weeks, some station owners from Georgia to Illinois say sales have declined as much as 10 percent to 40 percent. Station owners and BP gas distributors told BP officials last week they need a break on the cost of the gas they buy, and they want help paying for more advertising aimed at motorists, according to John Kleine, executive director of the independent BP Amoco Marketers Association. The station owners, who earn more from sales of soda and snacks than on gasoline, also want more frequent meetings with BP officials.
