Would anyone be interested on setting a certain date to not get gas and boycott it for a few days?

Question

Why wont it work?

Answer 1

Totally pointless; it won't work because what we don't buy today or this week, we'll have to buy soon, and the fuel companies know this.

Answer 2

That's what I have been saying for some time now, if we boycott one oil company for 1 month, it will work because they will have to lower there prices to make room for the inventory coming in, Lets say company A is selling gas and company B is not, then company B will lower there price to beat company A price, then there are price wars between company A and B... Lets just say we try for June 1st for the boycott

Answer 3

It won't work. Stop trying.

Answer 4

It won't work. There will be a flood of people buying gas the day before the boycott and the day after. You have to cut the demand. As long as the demand is still there it will accomplish nothing.

The problem is that we depend on oil from the middle east (opec). The price of gas is based on supply and demand. The only way to get the price of gas down is either drop the demand or get the supply up. Opec has control over the supply. If they wanted to cut the supply enough to push the price of gas to $10 or $12 a gallon or more they could. We depend on the middle eastern countries for oil. We have to find a way to do without their oil!
