Think about it. You are not driving any less, ie. BURNING GAS. So how are you causing them to lose 3 Billion dollars if you burning the same amount of Gas????
They wouldn't see a minus 3 billion blip on that day anyway, as the calculation in the original form letter is flawed: it assumes that every vehicle will have an empty tank on that day.......

I know the USA likes gas guzzlers but surely you can go a few days between station visits.
