Some dude is trying to start a boycott on gas Monday May 17. I guess he's just trying to get gas prices to lower a little bit. I hope we all chip in a little bit and just not fill up on this one day. Who knows where this may lead, but it wouldn't hurt that bad to skip a day.

Sorry, doesnt work, never has never will.

You will simply put off to a later date, the next day, or buy sooner. Raising to above normal the amount of sales that day. The overall demand must change. Change the gas guzzler tax to 10,000 on SUV's for starters. Or 5000 per year tax.

what I have read it was the 19th, but as what others have said on other fourms and as nick said, it won't work, it will just cause the people to buy before or after..

The only way something like this would work, is if people didn't buy gas for approx 2 weeks, they would lose more money then I can count.. in the billions...

Nick's right. A 100% day off (which won't happen) would be a smack, but the next few days would see a fat spike. Its not as volatile as the stock market at all.


Why would you do it if it didn't make it faster?

Some 50 year old man at the counter on Friday commented about not buying for a day, and thought it would matter. Now I know where democrats come from.
