    Most likely it won't do anything. But I still will not pump on the 15th.

        Bad dog and Aaron have a point. what will 1 day do. But the answer is not to buy a hybrid either. Any idea on why there are so few available? Because the gas corporations pay BIG money to have the car companies NOT produce them.

          Over the last 15+ years we have seen at least one of these scheduled protests each year. So please tell us why this one day protest is going to make any more of a difference than the past 15 of them.

          In fact....On May 15th I will be sure to fill up.....If I fill up on the 14th then I will make a considerable effort to empty at least half the tank so that I may refill again on the 15th.

          If you want to make a difference and protest this sort of shit then maybe you should consider a hybrid car or something along those lines.

          A one day protest of high gas prices is about as effective as a One Man March. When you are ready to protest for a million days, back to back, please let me know so I can join you. Until then, I'll keep sucking the over priced gas through my SUV.

              and for anyone who wants to cut prices and make a stance, without going on a bike or buying a hybrid, just get a car that runs on diesel and put cheap olive oil in the tank, In bulk, it's far cheaper than diesel, but because fuel tax is a major source of revenue for govts, it's also illegal....

                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!!!!

                  People nowadays are too, "me me me" and too spoiled to do what it would take to make a difference...

                  Look at all that the gov't has done over the last few years and nobody said much of anything about it.. Not enough to put a dent in the difference anyway..

                  Until enough people band together and are willing to sacrafice for the long term good of things, the corporations will just keep raising their prices, fattening their wallets, and boasting about their bottom line..

                  No different than the adult industry... With all the 'wares that are pissing people off, nobody is doing a thing to stop it.. other than bitch on gfy..
                  If ya can't band together to save your business, ya sure won't band together to make a difference in the gas prices...
                  IMO

                    Aaron, I've always liked you , but you are being a jerk right now.

                    Send me an email and I'd be happy to pull my tax write-off reciepts as well as show you the numerous walks I've done.

                    Why would you even ask me that? Are you trying to be rude?

                      I just asked for a source because if I'd partake in something like this, I'd most likely at least mention it to people I know and love as well..

                      And if I'm going to put my mark on something, I'd like to know where it came from and all I can about it.

                      "Some guy from the internet said" doesn't typically fly in my circles, man.

                      I don't think wanting to understand something is "hate"... generally it's a lack of understanding that brings about "hate."

                        oh, so I am a hater because I remember every other year that this has been suggested and the stupid numbers they put up in an attempt to make it sound like it just might work?

                            No .. because the first thing you said was "hhahahahah". And you know what I meant when I say "hater". It doesn't mean you hate me or what I'm saying. It means you are not supportive and that you are being sarcastic and negative about it.

                            I'm sorry if you took it in another manner.

                            But, I do give you credit. You drive a motorcycle, so you are doing better than I when it comes to not buying gas.

                            Listen, I'm not trying to get into some huge drama thread over this. I just made a post cause someone else shared it with me. And I thought it was kinda cool that people were trying to do something good, even if it doesn't make that big of a difference at the end. Its more about making an effort than solving a problem. Its really that simple.

                                    That would be the dumbest protest ever.
                                    If you don't go to the gas station on the 15th, you'll go the day after that.
                                    The problem is the elasticity of almost zero in the demand for gas.

                                      Melbourne Australia is currently paying an effective rate of about $USD3.75 per gallon.

                                              Ahyup, same thing was going on here. People in Winnipeg were circulating an email that said "Don't buy gas from Shell stations. Fill up anywhere but Shell"

                                              The thinking was that Shell would have to eventually lower their prices, which would then cause the other stations to lower theirs, resulting in a gas war.

                                              I've seen it passed around maybe 3 or 4 times in the past 6 years or so.

                                              It has never once worked.

                                                    Probably one of the best things that could happen is for gas prices to hit something like $6 a gallon for Americans.

                                                    THEN MAYBE we would all finally get serious about doing something about our addiction to OIL! It's called: SHOCK TREATMENT!
