The fact they would lose that much money if only 1/3 of us don't buy gas should tell everyone something disturbing.
The oil companies OWN us, they also control the US Governmental offices. All these OIL wars, are thier doing, if a country doesn't bow down to them, they just give ol Bush a call and guess who is the next terrorist nation?
We need to put these mega-corps outta business.
nuff this time, more later

The boycott is stupid, there is no differance if I fill up today tomorrow, or when whenever, because eventually I need gas to go to work, pick up kids, ETC. it's called life, left wing nuts. Supply and demand, the Oil companies are gonna get our money eventually, so it makes no differance which day you fill. All you people saying I will fill up today or the 16th what's the differance? Most people don't need gas everyday, most fill up once a week or twice depends on your job and what's going on. If you Nuts want to make a differance than set the example, ride your bike to work, use the T-Train if you have one in your city, Put wind farms on the coast of Cape Cod where I live, to increase energy on our area and less on oil and gas but THE GREAT HYPROCITES LIKE TED KENNEDY, JOHN KERRY AND Liberal buddies don't want that, Let's stop people like Al Gore flying on private Jets. I mean we can do alot so much more and a one day gas out is stupid. The Oil companies will get you eventually it's called supply and demand.

But on May 16th they will make 4 billion dollars. So whats the difference. The whole boycott scheme was trumpted up by the oil companies so they could send the gas station attendants home without pay on May 15th then reap the benefits when everybody fills up May 16th. If everyone drives the same amount they will end up buying the same amount of gas. Some of you people are idiots!

It really is a dumb idea. Unless you are a hippie and don't have to drive to work on Tuesday, you will just have to buy the gas you burn later in the week. Also, the real blame for America's oil addiction does not lie with the oil companies. Individual consumers use huge amounts of oil in the cars we drive and products we consume everyday. Oil companies simply supply the demand.

And they will get the $2 Billion back on Wednesday when the people who didn't fill up on Tuesday fill up on Wednesday. Shifting demand by one day will do nothing, reducing demand will.

we should make it a week long deal. candle power for light, burn a log for heat, and walk , bike, roller blade, ect. we got by in the past with a horse and buggy. i know it sounds stupid but if we stop using government interest maybe we can get a break.
