Don't pump gas on MAY 15th


NO GAS...On May 15th 2007

Don't pump gas on MAY 15th

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 companies 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 wouldn't) resend this to all your
contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"

Put a little dent in their pocket...

My guess would be you'll see gas prices shoot up the following week, to make back what they lost on that one day...

Ok...If I think about it I'll buy the day before. Here is what they don't tell you...
The profit to the oil companies is a mere .07 per gallon. The rest of the cost per gallon is transportation cost, storage, all the middle men etc...And guess who gets the BIG piece of the pie at point of sale? Did you guess Govmint? You're right.

Not if you make the equipment to harvest that energy.

I understand that part, just wondered what if anything he thought it would accomplish... and I DO find it funny that a republican/right winger would suggest demonstrating... why that's almost liberal of PR... has hell frozen over?

yea like the government would actually build something useful

so you buy gas on the 14th or the 16th... what's the difference?

Now if you, and everyone else, traded in their gas guzzler for a Prius... that might put a dent in their pocket.

maybe... probably not though, they'd just raise the prices more...

I'll agree that GOP tends not so much at 'protesting' in the marching sense, but I'll have you know that I write many of my Congressional reps and many letters to the editors to make my voice heard, (yes, most are published).

They make the profit on the process, the materials and the energy they capture...

I wasn't suggesting 'They' do it.

But I see the point of your post now..
