May 15th is gas out day....

05-14-2007, 09:11 AM

NO GAS...On May 15th 2007

Don't 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, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.

There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.

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 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 Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.

If you agree (which I can?t see why you wouldn't) tell everyone you know. Let's tell the oil companies

Stupid idea. You hurt the gas station owners more than anything else. Oil company execs laugh when the hear this - you'll just double the sales the following day.

Cut back on driving - that hurts the oil companies.

How about parking your car for a day? Never happen, will it :/

i thought i heard that may 19th is "bike to work day", that might actually do more damage..there is also the "dont buy at exxon, shell or mobil" stations as these large gasoline sellers "control" the market.. if many could agree, it might work to some extent.

Stupid idea... it won't cost the oil industry anything, everyone thinks it's a great idea but who is actually going to do something about it and drive less?

You're going to drive the exact same amount, therefore buying the same amount of gasoline. You think the companies care which day they make their profits on?

1. There was no nationwide "gas out" in 1997. There was one in 1999, but it didn't cause gas prices to drop 30 cents per gallon overnight. In fact, it didn't cause them to drop at all. Despite the popularity of the email campaign, the event itself attracted scant participation and was completely ineffectual.

It's good to see topbucks reps at least research shit before posting spam emails here on gfy.

I like the fact that there wasn't even a thought as to all the peoplel that will fill up on 14th or 16th. stupid.

Do what I do, work from home. The only time I leave the house is to get toilet paper. I'm thinking of putting in one of them european ass washers, then I'd never have to leave.

Exactly. People will just buy twice as much the next day.

Like 73,000,000 people are going to do this. Get a clue. I'm not going to do it. Not only because I don't give a shit and I'll pay $5/gallon or $10/gallon, but also because I get reimbursed for my gas expenses. =)

We have and will always depend on oil from other countries. The truth is we need oil to run our country. Not only cars, but the trucks that supply us with everything from condoms to pink fuzzy slippers. I'm pretty sure that an 18 wheeler uses more gas in one week than my car uses in one year. (I'm rarely leave the house and it's rare that I fill up more than once every other month.)

Oddly enough, I just drove a Ford Escape Hybrid for the first time this past weekend. Very nice. I mean, it was a four banger to begin with but the power was decent and the motor never went on once. I drove all the way to store and back. It's silent and very odd; It was like I was in Stealth Mode or something. The batteries are good for 80k miles or so, and the Hybrid costs only $3k more than the non Hybrid version.

It doesn't matter if everyone in the United States stopped buying gas on the 15th. That's how stupid a "1-day boycott" is. You have to stop using things that use gas PERIOD. You have to go for months and months to have a successful boycott (and sometimes YEARS). One day won't do shit, and I don't see how *anyone* could think otherwise. Seriously, even retarded people are not that retarded.. Seriously... it'd be like me not eating a piece of cake for a day and expecting to lose forty pounds the next day.

Want real ways to "hurt" the oil industry? Want to save money in the process? CARPOOL whenever possible. USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION whenever possible. USE A BICYCLE whenever possible. Not only will it save you some green, it'll also help the environment.

exactly. how about taking public transportation, carpooling or riding your bike to work on May 15th instead.

if anything, i wouldnt be suprised if gas stations jacked up their prices today and on the 16th because theyve heard of this and are waiting for people to fill up on either day.

dumbest internet spam ever.... from cnn's money page

The promise of depriving oil companies of $3 billion dollars a day assumes all the Internet users in the country would normally fill up their cars on the same day, which is of course absurd.

And what about the 30 cent-a-gallon price drop, which the e-mail claims happened during a similar boycott back in April 1997?

"It's absolute urban legend," said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service, which tracks gasoline prices for the motorist organization AAA. "There was no such drop."

Kloza said he looked into prices for all of April, 1997, and said for the entire month they didn't move by more than a penny.

The reason prices didn't budge is that people will still use the same amount of gasoline for the week or month. The Energy Information Administration, which tracks gasoline demand every week, said they've never observed a drop in demand for any week in the spring that could be associated with the boycott.

How about if we stop trading the fucking stock?

Make it illegal for a foreign held entity, or a company who's operations are mainly based on foreign soil, to contribute to a Presidential Campaign?

Stop using U.S. ships to protect and patrol shipments out of the Persian Gulf?

Do you know how much it costs to keep the shipping lanes open and safe in that region? and this is how they repay us, by sticking it to us on the price.?

Fuck YOU!
We should be paying the least of everyone in the world, for ,without our Air Craft Carrier Groups, Battle Ships, and the sacrifice of OUR Navy Personnel..
NOBODY IN THE FUCKING WORLD WOULD EVER GET A SHIPMENT AGAIN, AND THE FUCKING GULF WOULD BE A CONSTANT ENVIRONMENTAL BON FIRE DISASTER!

Don't get me started.

I don't see Saudi Arabia posting up their Navy to protect their own fucking shipments..oh yeah they don't have a navy!
and what about the shipping companies that actually own the Super Tankers that do the transport, those are largely Japanese, Korean, Greek, , Spanish, and other countries.
Where the fuck is their escort at?

Ok I'm done now.

*mumbles quietly*, "mother fuckers!"

Oh and China is supposed to be this great new market that is consuming all this oil.

We have been protecting the oil shipments out of that region for years for the good of the WORLD economy, and nobody, NOBODY, gives a shit, or offers to help out.
All I hear is "the U.S. this", and "arrogant policies" that. and then they get in their Mini Cooper, or on their high speed train, and giggle at their moral superiority over the United States.
The whole thing pisses me off.
Our Navy is, and has been directly responsible for there not being a Global Economic Castastrophy, that would set most Western Countries back 50 years, and most other countries back to the stone age, (CHINA! JAPAN! THE E.U.!)
Yet, we can't get a break on a few barrels.
I say we just start taking the shit and escorting it all right to our east coast ports.
Fuck everyone else! Let them find their own source,
