Gas

I got this e-mail today. And I was just wondering, does this ever really work? I mean has it been proven to work?

Do not pump gas on May 15th


In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices.
Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.

On May 15th 2007, try not to go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.

The average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.

If everybody did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,200,000,000.00 (that's BILLION) out of the oil company's pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the oil industry for at least one day.

If you agree (which I can't see why you wouldn't) forward this email with Don't pump gas on May 15th

STOP THE GAS PRICE MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I you forward this to people, your vagina will fall off.

Won't work.

This will work great. Just like illegals taking a day off work made such an enormous impact on American politics.

Won't work. Besides in April 1997 gas cost like 1 dollar a gallon. If such a gas out was conducted it sure as hell wasn't joined by anyone.

Besides, gas is required. You end up buying it the next day for the same price or higher. Probably higher. Good job.

May 15... a Wednesday? Nope, won't be filling up.

I might be! But then again I don't follow "schedules".

I might fill up on that day just to go against this foolish nonsense.

And you know it seems like this e-mail goes around every year. And I just figured if it really worked we wouldn't be paying $3.35 a gallon.

Won't have to wait in line

I pay $3.67

I pay $2.85.

2.87 across the street from me.

I need to buy a thousand gallons soon, is there a specified date for that?

I generally buy gas on weekends, or occasionally Thursday night; I'm pretty sure I can drive to the train station and back 4 times when the low fuel warning light is on, and the only day I drive to work is Friday. So not so much a schedule as no need on Wednesday. If the 15th was a Sunday, I'd probably fill up.

Where are you at?

You're being raped.

I paid 3.29.

It might make sense if not for the fact that people are still going to buy the same amount of gas... just on a different day.

Did it go down? I haven't filled up in over a week...maybe about 2.

Won't change a thing. Consumption remains the same. If people don't go to the gas station on May 15th, there'll just be more people buying gas on May 16th.
