Hypothetically~
How much would you be willing to spend on fuel if you knew that the high cost would definitely contribute to the fall of the WTBTS, or at the very least, put a stop to field service?

Eek! If I have that kind of power...
I can only comment on a related issue - how far away from public transportation would you move if the Witnesses could only get to you through trains and buses?

Well...I'd have to say that since living comes first, I would paying whatever the cost was for the goods and/or services that I need to survive. It that contributed to the demise of the WTS then bonus!
That however is like asking anyone who objects to cults in general - would you stop paying to see Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Kirstie Alley, John Travolta and most likely Will Smith at the movies because the richer they get on your dollar, the more they spend to keep Scientology in effect. If nobody supported them via their employment, they wouldn't have as much cash to contribute to their cult to keep it running and conning more members into it.

I don't hate the WTS that much, I think they are just as bad or no worst then other religions, I would rather put an effect in stopping the grow of Islam

As I have a bicycle, I wouldn't be affected if gas went to $10,000 a liter. But there are other things that would cost the witlesses money--like supplies. Suit dry cleanings. McDonalds meals. Book bags. Call cards and books. Suit replacements.
I cannot think of any other items that are unique to Jehovah's Witlesses that could add to their costs. Most of these items also raise the costs to business people who would pay more for briefcases, suit maintenance, and paper. And pass the cost on to the customers.
One thing I would definitely be willing to pay more for is items at Starbucks. And especially if they made a policy that any Witlesses would have a mandatory 20% tip added to the waitresses that otherwise would only get "tipped" with a waste of paper. Notably, they now have more than just coffee--snack items and paraphenalia are sold there now. And I would be willing to pay double the prices (plus a big fat tip to the waitress) in order to hamper field circus. And $10,000 a liter for gas.

Can't I just ride the bus and let them front the bill still?
