    Over on the political forum we are trying to organize a "skip the pump day" for April 15th. ............We will need everyones help to get the word out to "everyone " "everyone" knows. No joke, just one day is all it will take to panic the oil companies, maybe get their attention that we're tired of these outragious increases everytime the wind blows, or doesn't blow, or for whatever assine reason...........When it get organized we'll have a few facts to present about the fuel surplus we'll create, and the seriousness of this endeavor, all in a form type, for real email to send to everyone you know, and so on and so on........we CAN do this, we're ***boat..............Ray

    Doesn't work, you have to buy it eventually, and they know it.

    Yeah, but this is ***boat, we can do anything. And, sure we have to buy it eventually, but the flow and storage, all the way up the line will get there attention from the retailer to the refiner........Just a day WILL make a huge statement, but it has to be big to work........Nationwide.........We'll work on it..........MP

    I did read some where the best way to do something like this is to target one gas co. say like Chevron and get your fuel other places and eventually a impact could be made. Not sure though but it sound's more reasonable than skipping one day as you could do this over a period of time. Just my .02

    Over on the political forum we are trying to organize a "skip the pump day" for April 15th.You guys might want to read these Snopes articles before you put any more effort into this.
    Not buying gas on a given day doesn't do anything (http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/nogas.asp)
    Boycotting certain oil companies doesn't do anything (http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp)
    Buying only a few gallons at a time doesn't do anything (http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/eggs.asp)

    No Gas on Tax Day April 15th
    It should be clear to everyone who drives a car that
    the recent increase in the price of gasoline, unnecessarily excessive.
    The excessive increases in the price of gasoline, have not been the result
    of higher refining costs or higher costs for crude oil.
    There is one thing and only one thing that has driven the price of
    gasoline up over 25% in the last few weeks, greed,
    If the American people, would simply not buy gasoline on the same day,
    APRIL 15, 2007, the unsold gasoline we could flood the market and immediately reduce prices.
    Can something so simple work to reduce the price of gasoline?
    It’s too simple not to try. Nothing to lose.
    Plan April 15, 2007, in a way so that you don’t have to buy gas, that day.
    The price of gasoline, will come down immediately.
    PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE IN YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK

    Honestly:
    Are you that crazy??? Not even worth the effort. Good luck with all that!
    NBC had a great report last night on their nightly news. Guess what?? High oil prices are due to a lack of refining capacity!!! WOW!!!! Where have we heard that before??
    You want to do something? Change your politicians and get more refineries. You will see gas prices drop. However, bet you will see taxes on said gas go up as you are already used to $2.50 per gallon. That's not my opinion, by the way. That's the truth!
