Oil and gas are global commodities. Boycotting a certain brand of gas
will affect the producers very little since oil and gas is traded
globally at well established prices. A producer has many options for
where to sell product. ...

Well, yes and no...virtually all of Citgo's refining capacity is in the
US and their particular variety of crude is unsuited for most other
refineries so there isn't really an unlimited global market for their
crude. While they could undoubtedly sell refined product elsewhere, it
wouldn't be as nearly efficient. (Not that I think a boycott would
have much _real_ impact, it's just not possible to implement
effectively enough. I'd like (personally, it's not going to happen,
and really shouldn't, but it's a nice thought ) to nationalize all
Argentine assets in the US.
