DONT PUMP GAS APRIL 15TH 2012

Don't pump gas on April, 15 2012

KEEP SENDING THIS - Let's all try this, wonderful if it helps.

Il do it! If running low, just get your gas the day before on April 14 or the day after on April 16. Every little bit helps.

In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.

On April 15, 2011, all internet users are not to go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $1.20 a liter/$3.87 in most places.

If all users did not got to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on April 15th and let's try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.

Whether you buy gas on the 14th, 15th, or 16th it really doesn't matter. The oil companies are not going to be missing out any of your money. These gas boycotts are a complete waste of time.

I think it is an interesting concept but I have to agree does it really matter when we buy the gas. I would think it would be a bigger hit to the gas companies if we all didn't drive for one day.

The speculators will be furious.

This is an untrue story.  Do this if you want to, but a one day protest of this fashion will have absolutely zero effect.  It would be akin to the junky telling his dealer that he isn't going to buy dope from him on one Sunday out of the year but will continue to do so on the rest.

Nobody think this will work? I just say this from an email so posted it on here to hear what you guys have to say about this ?

This is not going to work, people who are running outta gas and need to be somewhere are going to get gas....

I think the main problem is, that other countries will pretty much purchase all the oil they can at the given prices.  When dealing with that there isn't much one can do unless they can force, and maintain, a world wide boycott.  I don't even think supply versus demand is in effect here anymore.

This is all over facebook. We will see how many adhere to it.

I don't see how this would work.  People will still buy the same amt of gas, just a different day.  How is that gonna change anything?

If you really want to make a dent buy a car that does not use gas such as an electic or alternate fuel like propane or liquid natural gas.

      We have to look at other sources of energy. Eliminate the engine and the fuel tank! Yes. build the auto body. Now what? An all electric motor vehicle or what else?

You are dumb.  The gas at the stations has ALREADY BEEN PURCHASED FROM THE OIL COMPANIES!!!
You are not sending big oil a message doing this, only making local gas stations suffer.

Dummies

I agree with sigmai1501.  What is at the local stations has already been purchased and paid for to be available for the public to purchase.
