Don't Pump Gas on May 15th!!!
I just got this email!!!
NO GAS...On May 15th 2007
Body: Don't pump gas on may 15th
Body: ...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companys pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldnt) resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"

Something like this pops up everyone once in a while and doesn't have any effect on the gas prices.

I don't see how this would work. Unfortunately, we all have to fill up at some point.

This has ZERO effect on gas prices - it won't stop or change consumption.
There are better ways to effectuate change than this.

yeah I see these come around once every few months, especially this time of year when the prices go up.
the best way to send a mesage to the oil companies is to start buying hybrids and other fuel efficient cars.
