Do not pump gas on May 15th!!!

[86FireBird]

In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in
protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon
overnight.

On May 15th 2007, all Internet users are to not go to a gas
station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in
most places.

There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the Internet
network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.

If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies
pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May
15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at
least one day.


SPREAD THE WORD

[ConElite]

I spread this all over my work. And every Forum I have been on.

That won't work. It's been tried many times. They know that you will go to the pumps on the 16th. They will make every dime back.

Don't spread this stuff around.

[Trash man]

haha my truck cant go that long without fuel! lol

[Christopherrr]

I've seen this thing all this week...

It's a joke...

[raroZ28]

It's stupid. People will fill up the day before, or the day after. The only way to ever lower gas prices is to use less gas. Because at the end of the month, we've still consumed the same amount. I can't believe some people actually buy into that.

[Joe 1320]

All that would do is inflate both the previous day, and the day after sales. You would have to shut down the useage of the entire country for an 24hr period..... that means no police, fire, rescue, doctors, hospitals.....no work, no school, nothing.... nada....... and that's not going to happen.

This pops up a couple times a year for the last 5 years or so. How can you possibly believe that it will work? It's a joke.

what Fred said folks.. it would have no impact at all. its really silly..no offense... its just not the answer and wont change anything.

[86FireBird]

ya i know its probably a joke but i promised i would spread the word

[Injuneer]

Spread the word about what? It will serve no purpose. What part of this do you not understand?

[Christopherrr]

No Flaming intended...but simple Economics would explain how this wouldn't work...if anything hurt the outcome.

Like i said i promised a friend i would post this....if this is bothering everyone then by all means delete it, im not gonna lose sleep over it.

[TODD 2000 V6 CAMARO]

Sounds like he is honoring a promise. I can respect that. Give the guy a break.

[97LT1Z28]

I can't believe how much money these oil companies make. It all comes back to supply & demand.

Have you seen this Tzero car?

If all electric cars were like this but the same price as a normal gas car, I'd consider buying one.....
