If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies' 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 Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
This calculation is deliberately bogus to make the figures look better, or done by an idiot. It assumes that everyone on the internet fills up their tank DAILY!!!!
