Buy gas Monday if you have to just not on Tuesday

Answer 1

This thing has been tried thousands of times. It won't work. not ever. That kind of unity simply doesn't exists in this country. not by a longshot.

Also most people don't give two s**ts about the environment and would actually go out and buy extra gas on that day just to spite what they call the "greenie bunny hugging hippies"

I personally haven't bought a drop of gas in months. and don't plan on buying anymore ever. Thats all you can do is try to make your own life greener

Answer 2

Burn in h**l, hippie!

Answer 3

And, if everybody who would have bought gas on Tuesday, buys gas on Monday, what effect with that have?  Absolutely none.  The oil companies will still sell the same amount of gas on Monday that they would have sold on Monday and Tuesday.

It's been tried before.  Gas-outs don't work.

The ONLY way to get oil companies to notice is for EVERYONE to reduce their consumption EVERY DAY, not just one day.

If you get the "World's Cleanest Car", you wouldn't need gas.

"BBC News is reporting that a French company has developed a pollution-free car which runs on compressed air. India's Tata Motors has the car under production and it may be on sale in Europe and India by the end of the year.

The air car, also known as the Mini-CAT or City Cat, can be refueled in minutes from an air compressor at specially equipped gas stations and can go 200 km on a 1.5 euro fill-up -- roughly 125 miles for $3. The top speed will be almost 70 mph and the cost of the vehicle as low as $7000."

There's another air car with a lighter engine.

"They will be available in 2, 4 and 6-cyclinder "flavors" and starting at a price of $15,000.

These vehicles use Compressed Air Technology (CAT) as opposed to the regular internal combustion of the fossil-fuelled engines where small explosions of fuel push the pistons up and down. In CAT engines, compressed air pushes the pistons up and down. The result is that what comes out of the exhaust pipe is clean air, the kind you can breathe rather than gag on. Goodbye pollution.

Since a compressed air engine does not generate the amount of heat which a combustible engine would, it also means aluminum can be used to build the engine. A CAT engine weighs about half that of a standard internal combustion engine.

An MDI CAT vehicle has an aluminum chasis. Such a lighter car in turn yields higher mileage. You will also be able to refill the vehicle with compressed air at your own home at the cost of about $2 worth of electricity.

Top speed of these vehicles will be 110 kilometers per hour (68 mph) and inventor Guy Negre projects a day when his cars run non stop for 4,500 km (almost 2,800 miles) on just one tank of "fuel."

The video also shows a CAT rotary engine developed by an Australian inventor.

In terms of immediate viability and cost effectiveness, I think CAT is the now technology. And you won't be held hostage to the fossil fuel companies who have been picking your pocket for decades."

Answer 5

How about riding a bike one week a month.  Get a couple hundred thousand people to do that spamming Yahoo! and Facebook messageboards.  That should have an actual effect.  If you're still driving a car, the oil companies will still get your money, whatever day it is.

So how do you get your kids to the doctor, go visit your family and friends, go to the dentist, get all your groceries home to feed your family, deliver extra garden veggies to the local soup kitchen, take your recycling to the center, go volunteer at the local nursing home and children's center etc. All this for my blessed family of 6 is made possible by our carpooling wherever we go.

If someone will invent a car like the previous "poster" mentioned that seats 8 people and can haul more than 1 bag of groceries, and costs less than $25,000, I'm in.

Wish we were walking or biking distance to everything we need...

Answer 7

Not going to accomplish a thing.

Answer 8

Why?  What is the point?

Answer 9

Okay, I won't.

Answer 10

I Won't Then.  I'll Pass It Along.

Answer 11

Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday will make zero difference. They will get your money anyway.
