Answer 2

Stupid!

So let's assume 100% compliance. That means anyone who would have filled up on the 15th instead fills up on the 14th or 16th. So the gas companies have record sales on those two days, and none on the 15th. They are still selling every bit as much of the product. They are still getting the same dollar amount from you. What kind of message does that send?

Companies do everything by month and quarter. For the month and quarter, no difference is made. Even if the protest lasts a week, still no difference, as everyone tanks up before to get them through that week.

They've got us over a barrel, and the only way to "protest" the high price of gas, is to boycott using it. Take public transit or buy a Prius and teach those SOBs at Exxon, Iran and in Detroit.

If you really want to do something, than organize a day to NOT USE GAS. That actually will send a message to the oil companies and Middle Eastern oil countries. But you won't do that will you? Because you won't change your lifestyle. You would rather send some stupid symbolic message than do anything that might actually work, because it involves sacrifice.

I'm going to make a special point to fill all of my families 3 cars on the 15th to protest this stupid protest.

Answer 3

Boycotts NEVER work. If people don't buy it on the 15th, gas will be purchased on the 14th.

Sorry but I HAVE to drive. Public transportation is impossible! IT DOESN'T WORK! If I need gas, I will buy gas.

Answer 4

If the supply demand ratio is not balanced whatever you do the price are gonna be variant.

Answer 5

keep on reminding me, I have a short attention span.
