Would a gas boycot do any good?

Question

I am talking about people in an entire town, city, or state saying no to gas for just one day. Would this force a lower price at the pump?

Answer 1

Won't even show up in the accounting.

Most large corporations have lots of cash on hand and lines of credit. Your entire state could boycott gas for a month, and it would be of concern to them in that they would miss their quarter target, but not a huge deal relating to financial solvency.

There is no short term solution. Only long term solutions, such as driving less and moving to smaller more efficient cars.

Answer 2

no you cant get enough people to go alone with it we are to depend on owe cars

my high school tried it we did not succeed too many people drove when they weren't suppose to

Answer 3

It would only help if you didn't drive at all that day. If all you did was not buy gas, it wouldn't do a thing.

Answer 4

No because people need to get around, and the only way they can do it is by driving, and to be able to drive you need gas, and the only way to get gas is to pay for the gas.

Answer 5

Probably not..unless you found an alternative to gas that could be used on cars previously dependant on it.

Answer 6

No, because the gas stations know you will just need gas tomorrow. In the short term a drop in demand will not reduce the price. In the long term if decrease for demand was sustained, the price would drop and most likely new sources of fuel would be looked to.
