This whole one-day boycott thing is the most assinine and idiotic thing I've seen in a long time.

A one day boycott wouldn't do shit to oil prices. Drivers would still consume gasoline during the day and therefore, if anything, would INCREASE demand for gasoline on May 16th.

The only way for any boycott to make an impact on prices is for an extremely large number of people to CONSUME LESS gasoline over a sustained period of time. Like a "Walk to work for a week" boycott or maybe even something longer than that.
