no body buy gas on may 15th?

Answer 1

You do realize, that not buying gas for one day isn't going to make a difference, and this boycott idea will not work. If it was done for a week, or even up to a month, then It might have an impact, but as for the amount of people who need to drive, and this is not easly done boycotting and working at the same time, it will not work. One day isn't going to make a difference, it will be no worse then Christmas or New Years days when most everything is closed. This idea will not work. also, take a look at how gas prices were 50 years or 25 years ago and compair it with prices of now. They may seem less, but in fact they are a lot higher then they are now. compair them with a bottle of coke, or a loaf of bread, or just something that was around back then and is still around now that is a common everyday item, just to get a compairson, you'll be suprised.

Answer 2

If you believe that the oil companies are gouging us, then here is a perfect opportunity for them to do so even more.

A smart oil executive will realize that if no one is buying gas on the 15th, then those who would ordinarily fill up on the 15th will either do so on the 14th, or maybe stretch it to the 16th.

So what if on the 16th, prices suddenly go up a dime a gallon? Those who were stretching to make it to the 16th are now forced to pay an even higher price.

Say 10 million people who would normally fill up on the 15th decide not to do so. Let's say 5 million of those decide they can wait until the 16th. Say average fill up is 15 gallons. So on the 16th, if the oil companies all go in cahoots with one another and raise prices a dime a gallon, they'd make an extra $7,500,000 off of this stupid protest.

That's what I'd do if I were an evil oil executive. If I can figure it out, I'm sure the smart executives can too. Maybe they are actually the ones promoting this worthless protest to gouge us even more??? And the best part is, they get the useful idiots like yourself who think this protest is a good idea to promote it for them.

Wow! What a conspiracy!

Answer 3

I heard that it doesnt work and wont do anything. maybe if we stopped for a month or something and refused to buy gas, people need to take the bus, ride a bike, walk, run, carpool

any other options for us ?
if we dont buy the gas for a day whats that going to do, they know what is happening. it wont accomplish anything.

however if we share transportation or use things that do not require gas to get around we wont need it, gas prices will go down and our country will become less obese and we will all be happy!

Answer 4

Yeah, I got that email this morning too. It's a boycott to make the oil companies lose money that day and reduce the prices of gas.
