Who will participate in the gas out on Monday, May the 15th?

Question

Gas prices are a joke, I am going to participate, who else will be joining the gas price protest? They say the last one reduced the gas prices by .30 cents. How long can people boycott, or reduce their fuel intake, to hurt the pocket books of the "Pinko, Commie, Bedwetting, Nazi, Gasoline Moguls?" The longer people can hold out, the more the prices should reduce? maybe.....

I need a new calender, sorry, it's the 15th.

Actually, I didn't see this on the internet, someone personally asked me to participate. I know there are many hoaxes, but one thing I do know for a fact, is there are people who are price gouging and those are the ones I am speaking of. "The WannaBe Gas Moguls." The gas goes up and down, but the price of goods steadily rises, beyond reason. Boycotting stations will hurt the individuals who own them, even if people delay the inevitable gas up. The longer people can wait, will hurt the businesses, that are responsible. Just keep boycotting each station or store, business or whatever. They will either comply or suffer financial loss. Gas up, yes. You are right, can't help that, But gas up somewhere else until the places responsable complies with dropping their prices. That is my point. Government isn't going to step in, they are getting rich off of it, we have to do it at our level, to show that we are still in control of this Country. Does this make more sense?

Answer 1

I will now that you have informed me, but since this is the first I've heard of it, even though I'm an internet junkie, I'm guessing not enough people know about it to make much of a difference.

Answer 2

Only people who don't really understand how gas prices are set and supply and demand. Even if everyone chose not to buy on that day if they still drove thier car they would just need to buy more the next day. No affect on the oil companies at all. If they wanted to do something that was really noticed they would have to do more of a green out. Everyone use no items that consume oil or gas for a period more like a week or more. (Don't drive, don't cut the lawn with a gas mower, don't use the heater or ac if the power company uses oil at all, don't consume(buy-use-throw away) any product made of plastic. The problem is that could never be organized and this country is too much a car based society + even if the consumer some how participated on a large scale businesses would still consume.

A boycott of this nature is not even concern for the oil companies.

Answer 3

This will have no effect on gas prices. What you saw is an internet hoax which gets circulated every time prices spike.

Unless you USE LESS GAS, you're only postponing the eventual purchase. If everyone didn't drive that day, we'd actually allow supply to build up, which would ease demand and prices could drop. That's assuming we don't all go out and drive twice as much on the 16th to make up for the 15th.

I've worked through three of these so-called boycotts and watched my stations to determine if there's a difference. I've never seen a station have a significant drop in volume. Not once have I had to postpone a delivery because consumers didn't buy gas.

Answer 4

A one day boycott won't do anything. Even if everyone in the country participated (not gonna happen), they would just fill up with gas the day prior or the day after. A one day boycott of anything simply can't work.
If everyone worldwide uses less gas, the price will go down.

Answer 5

Oh brother. those issues go around every time the fee of gasoline is extreme. It has no bring about besides. the entire quantity of gasoline would not exchange. in case you do not purchase on the fifteenth, you merely make it up the two by ability of procuring for extra in the previous, or extra after. at some point with a reasonable dip in gasoline purchases would not result the fee in any way in besides. long term habit does, besides the undeniable fact that: via fact of how grant and insist works, as quickly as we use much less, the oil agencies (and Arab international places) make much less income, as a result they develop the fees so as that they'd save making the comparable quantity of money. It happens each and all of the time. that's why revenues artwork; they sell extra, so as that they'd fee much less. in the event that they sell much less, they fee extra. This needless to say in basic terms works on issues that they have got a monopoly on - that we would desire to purchase, like .... gasoline.
