I hope you are correct but I can't see how putting $4.4 Billion into their pocket on the 14th in anticipation of the 15th, and then doing it again on the 16th to recover will help much.
You can consider me involved but I just have my doubts that it will help.

That really isn't going to do a darn thing. They control the flow and the price no matter what any of us decide to do.
The price per barrel has dropped significantly over the last few weeks and guess what? Our price at the pump has gone up and up and up.
---If we don't pump for one day, then everyone pumps the next day.
---If we don't pump for several days, they slow the flow and increase the demand anyway.
---If we don't pump then we put our local businesses in jeapordy (Gas stations and markets)

Sorry, then I'll just have to wait in line for gas the next day when everyone goes to fill up!

That's a good idea - it costs me $45-50 to fill up my car! It's INSANE!
