I'm going to fill up every gas powered piece of machinery I own tomorrow, even if it doesn't need it, in honor of you posting this bullshit.

Everyone would have to not buy for days.

Then the refineries shut down because storage tanks are full.

That is the only way to hurt them, it will cost them.

But next week they will jack the price to recover the lost $$$$
lol

The only one day "Gas out" that would actually do any good, is if we all stayed home, or walked to where we need to go for one day.

This "don't buy gas on tuesday" BS doesn't work.

Everyone would have to Not Buy Gas for a week to make a difference. I still like the idea of EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY staying home from work for 3 days. That would get the attention of the governement. I don't think the oil companies would care as long as they are rolling in the dough like they are.

You want to stick it to the gas co's

Start buying gas from companies who dont import oil.

(i.e. Race Track, Sunco etc) They do not import oil, and i have found their gas to be cheaper than the big dogs.

+1, I always try to buy from Race Trac and Sunoco. Too bad they aren't very close to home. The BP's in my area far outnumber them.

I was gonna fill the truck up this afternoon but I think in light of recent discoveries I'll fill the truck and the cobra up tomorrow instead.

And boycotting from one company isn't gonna make a difference, they'll just sell their oil/gas to another company and still make money.

I'm sure shell imports most of its oil but my parents get 2 checks a month from them for us owning the oil rights under 2 houses in mississippi.So their
getting oil from the US too.

Waste of bandwith. How many times do we need to go over this? The people that dont buy tomorrow will buy thye next day. You think gas companies suffer over 1 day LMAO. It would take several weeks of no one buying gas to have an affect

I think we could "shake things up" more by having everyone in the country jump in the air at the same time :rolleyes:
