In Saudi Arabia gasoline costs about 45 cents a gallon. In Iran it's 33. Venezuelans pay under a quarter. I still think a day to not buy gas would make a very strong statement and with the millions of barrel's of oil that has to move everyday you stop that movement they will notice there is no place to store almost a billion barrel's of oil that's what we use per day, what a waste isn't it

Not buying gas for one day would make no difference whatever. There will always be someplace where they can sell it, and tomorrow you'll just have to buy more, since you didn't stop driving today.
It's not buying gas that keeps prices high, it's USING it. Sooner or later, if you drive, you have to buy.
The fact is, gasoline will cost what people are willing to pay, so unless we all stop driving altogether, it will stay expensive. And if we did stop, what difference would it make what the price was?

I was in Iraq about 2 years ago and gas prices there were approximately 45-50 cents per gallon (converted from liters).
The US government controls gas prices, check and see how many government officials own stock in oil companies, and just think of their dividends, then see why the gas prices are so high.
