Answer 2

Answer 3

ok...but everyone will buy it on the third. or the first.

just accept the fact that its pointless!

Answer 4

a one day gas strike is useless

Answer 5

You will accomplish nothing. People who need gas will buy it aways. All you will do is hurt the people who work at the stations. The oil companies can wait you out. And probably raise the price to make up for any loses.

Answer 6

You're wasting your time. Not buying gas for one day will not send a message to anyone.

Answer 7

No. It's not. There is not going to be any strike. Why? Because you know you're going to buy gas anyway. And if you don't, your friend will. And so will another hundred million people in this country.

This silly little idea has been being talked about for years. Let's just say that everyone who loves to complain about high gas prices actually put their money where their mouth is, and didn't buy gas May 2. So what? What would the oil companies do? Nothing. They'd take the day off, knowing that the next day business would resume as usual.

Even if a gas strike was enacted and lasted longer than a day, the oil companies would just lower prices (even if it meant taking a temporary loss in profits) then jack them up through the roof when sales resumed.

Oil companies cannot be controlled as long as you let them control you. There are really only two feasible options: use significantly less gas, as little as possible, riding a bike everywhere, which may only cause them to raise prices even more to compensate for the lower volume of product being sold

OR

Quit using gas. It's easy. I use maybe 1-2 gallons of gas per month. And it's by choice. The rest of the time I ride my Cannondale or drive my diesel, which runs on free fuel: used vegetable oil I collect from work. There are PLENTY of non-gasoline fuels out there, but you're not going to be using any of them unless you actually make an effort to.

Propane, methane/CNG/LNG (natural gas), ethanol (not a good fuel, but not gas either), solar, hydrogen, wind turbine collected electric...... the list goes on and on.

Trying to beat gas stations at the price game is like trying to fight the sun from coming up.

Answer 8

What is that gonna do?
