You are right these stupid posts have to stop. Not buying gas on one day just means you have to buy it on another day. Or are you going to also not drive to work and not consume the gas you would need anyway?
None of these boycott email scams will ever work.

 

When the price of gas goes past 3 bucks a gallon my stubborn and vindictive personality kicks in. I live in a small town where most services are less than six blocks away from my house and I start to walk. I/we walk to the grocery store-with coaster wagon if needed, to the post office, movie/video place, business district and church and leave the vehicles parked. I realize that the bulk of Americans live in suburb/metro areas where this is not possible due to distance, time and safety concerns, but I can do this here and I will. I am advocating nothing here and my lone protest solves nothing and saves little but I feel a whole lot better when I can in some small way say F-YOU to the oil co's.

 

Me too!

I drive a cab for a living but that doesn't stop me.
My back is killing me though.
There is more fat people in this country than you would think.

 

With these gassys getting up in the $3.00 + range, I am going to have to make this street legal. 70 miles on a tank

 

But you're not gonna, that's the point. Yeah, you'll send some kind of message to the Corporations and they might get a tiny twitch in the neck, but the next day and every day afterwards, that gleam in their eye will come right back as they laugh at all the ppl who need gas desperately cause they didn't fill up on that one particular day.

Like it was said earlier... $3B loss today, $6+ profit tomorrow. It all evens out. It's called Chaos Theory.

 

april 29th, 1992, there was a riot on the street--tell me, where were you?

 

Ah... You guys do what ever you need to do, but if I need gas that day I will get it.

Like I said last year when all the gas price bitchers come out. I hope it raises 3 more dollars, so it will filter out most of the traffic out of my way.

 

I got an idea, why not BUY stock in the BIG oil co's and sit back and relax AMERICAN style,,,,,DUH ever hear of supply and demand???????It's all in your perspective

 

can you either go back under your money tree or actually realize that not everybody has cash flowing out of their *******s.

 

When refinery #123 doesn't sell gas to Exxon staion #789, then they sell it to Shell station #098...

The fuel will be used... you're accomplishing absolutely nothing by not purchasing fuel on a single day...

The only way to put a significant dent into 'Big Oil' is to convert your vehicle over to another fuel where they don't control the market. The only one along those lines that comes to mind is used vegetable oil. Good luck with that.

Again, I'm all for sticking to Big Oil but, to think that not buying fuel from a specific brand for a day (or any other amount of time) is going to make a lick of difference, you're grossly mistaken.

 

Prior to our last union contract vote I found out parking cost $5. I brought 500 pennies to pay for parking and gave the parking attendant the 500 pennies for the parking fee. He suffered hauling those 500 pennies in his little parking lot attendant apron for the entire day. Hmmmmm.

 

I was at work, you should of been in school. Tell me what does the L.A. riot have to do with this?

 

If all of us Dumb *** Americans would stick together and not buy fuel, and not drive, IT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Thus reducing demand and the prices would come down. I PERSONALLY try to plan my errands strategically so that i CONSERVE fuel when possible. But it's people that have the IT"S NOT GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE attitude that ruin it. They must be the upper class with deep pockets.....

Not driving is the key to your statement. If we still have to drive to get to work the gas would still need to be purchased. It wouldn't matter if the whole country didn't buy gas on one day if they still drove to work. They would still need the gas and would buy it the next day or fill up the day before.

Now if we all decided to stay home for a week and not drive anywhere that might have an effect.
