I am boycotting gas Thursday. Who's with me?

Question

I am boycotting gas Thursday. Who's with me?

Answer 1

Lol.  People are such idiots.

The only way to get the price down is to use less gas.  What day you buy it makes no difference.

Answer 2

Why are you boycotting gas?

Answer 3

Go ahead. If enough people boycott gas stations Thursday, They'll just jack the price up Friday and Saturday when everyone buys gas.

Want to do something that WILL work! One day a week, don't drive. Period. Stay home.

Answer 4

Boycotts are ineffective!!!!

USE LESS GAS!

Walk, ride a bike, carpool, use public transportation!

Transferring your usual purchase to another day does no good.

Lowering actual consumption should lower the price, but even if it doesn't it will lower the drain on your wallet

Answer 5

I'll be thinkin' about ya while I'm riding to work on my motorcycle.

Answer 6

It won't help.

The reason gas prices are so high is the fact that crude oil is near $90/bbl.

Go yell at OPEC if you don't like the gas prices.

Answer 7

If you don't buy on Thursday  you'll be buying it on Friday or Saturday in the same amount. What is your point? You have to lower consumption entirely, not just the day purchased.

Answer 8

Ya ok Me I just got gas today...... It's pointless, you must REDUCE tha amount of gas U use silly Rabbit

Answer 9

dude that won't help read this email

This was originally sent by a retired Coc Cola executive. It came from one of his

engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It ' s worth your consideration.

Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a gallon by next

summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take

some intelligent, united action. Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that

was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because

they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was

more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.

BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.

Please read on and join wi th us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline

priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.79 for regular

unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditined

us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to

take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the

marketplace..... not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we

consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas

come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And,

we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we

can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act

together to force a price war.

Here's the idea:

For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest

companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any

gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the

other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas

buyers. It's really imple to do! Now, don't wimp out at this point.... keep reading

and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions o f people.

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at least ten more (30

x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =3D

3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we

will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited

and pass this on to ten friend s each, then 30 million people will have been

contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE

>>>>HUNDRED MILLION >>>>PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If you don't

understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10

people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am, so trust

me on this one.)

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more peole

within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted

within the next 8 days!!!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I

had that much potential, di d you?

Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass

this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR

PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.

THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Answer 10

Sure. I filled up yesterday anyway :)

Answer 11

Nope; hot dogs with everything for lunch.
