DONT PUMP GAS APRIL 15TH 2012

[sigmapi1501]

I think it would be more effective to simply boycott one oil company totally. If everyone refused to buy xyz gas forever, might send a message.

Exactly HOW would driving one of the oil companies out of business, causing LESS competition help at all???

This seems like a good idea in theory, do not know how well it would actually work in practice.

In theory, sounds like a good idea.  In practically, will never work.  Impossible to get enough of the population to support the cause to make a difference.

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.

                              Can you explain to me please

Because you have to EVENTUALLY buy gas again.  THINK!!!!
It's like not buying toilet paper for one day. Unless you stop poopin they are eventually gonna sell you the toilet paper.

I think boycotting one or more of the biggest gas companies would have a big effect

HOW??? Even if the boycott is sucessfull and bankrupts one company, the others thrive. There is less competition, the cost goes UP! C'mon.

Protests of any kind in my opinion are a complete waste of time.  They rarely rarely ever work.  Companies will do what they want no matter what we feel.

I haven't gotten gas for about a month and I think I'll be able to make it at least 10 more days.

i wont. april 15th is a sunday. I have no reason to be going anywhere

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.

Exactly. I want to buy an electric car and screw the oil company over permanently. I would also like to have solar panels to power my home and car to screw over the coal company.

[albefish]

This will only cause the cost of gas to go up even higher in the future so in a sense you will just be shooting yourself in the foot (gas tank)!

I no longer own a car and I walk most places I need to go. I take the train if it is too far to walk.

Even if I feel kinda low brow for laughing at toilet humor
