i don't believe you will go back for that gas.
Its almost like trying to regain time. and we all know we can't do that.
I canceled meetings to achive my goal today

I was upset today to see that the price did go up about 10 cents. 10 CENTS!!!! jeezzz.
I do think it was a strategic financial move to regain the lost money from non pumpers.

I bet tomarrow it will go down.

I love this this is great. Ha you people believe the news??? oil companies have a lot of money. don't you think that they couldn't spare a little to pay off the news/government...

Don't you think that they're trying to diffuse the situation by lying to you and telling you that if you try, you will fail.

sounds like they are trying to drop morale to help break up the protest group.

Tiananmen Square(spellcheck) has nothing to do with the protest. it was an example showing how far 1 person will go to stand up against much larger forces.

Answer 3

Wait...I don't understand what this protest had to do with Tianenmen Square... And I didn't hear anything about not buying gas today in honor of an anniversary. Was the protest in honor of Tianenmen Square? Because I don't think that protest had anything to do with gas prices and oil corporations. Hm...

Answer 4

Yes, I bought gas today. And if I didn't get it today I would have gotten it tomorrow. These little protests have no impact on oil companies and it's completely absurd. If people are really that concerned they should stop driving.

Alcohol fueled elect generator.

gas companies dont care if you take a day or two off from buying gas, they all know that eventually you will HAVE to go back to them to fill your tank.. well that is unless you buy a electic car, or use your legs to get around. if you dont buy gas today, you will surly do it tomorrow or whenever you tank runs low.
