xfactr_ladyjustice | Don't Pump Gas May 15!!!? |
Will you help??
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 ( or anyone) 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 can't see why you wouldn't) resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on
May 15th" |

There will always be a skeptic. Just don't get gas on the 15th. The strike is not on the 14th or the 16th or even the entire week of the 14th. Just 1 day. Maybe it'll work and maybe it won't (again). If it does work you will be a part of something great and if it doesn't then at least you still attempted something instead of just complaining!
Do you have a better suggestion to lower gas prices? |

No, I will not help. It's a ridiculous plea. If no one bought gas for a month or so and generally conserved gas that would be a different story altogether.
Conserving your gas EACH AND EVERY day will help more than this. |

It won't work. The only way to lower gas prices is to reduce consumption (demand) OVERALL. All this will do is cause people to get their gas on the 14th or the 16th. The amount of gas purchased will not change. |

It's a bunch of GARBAGE and not true!!!!!! Not buying gas for one day wont hurt the companies...they'd get their money anyway from when people get all their gas the day before or after a "gas out" so dont buy into this... |

Reduce your consumption! |

You mean like in 1979 when all the fools who believed in a gas shortage, then the price shot up and miraculously there was plenty of high priced gas available!! I understand what your saying, but people won't do it. I'm so glad the high school teachers and students who bought into that are enjoying the high prices! Thanks for trying. |

CONSUMPTION IS A BOGUS REASON!!!!!!! ITS BECAUSE OF GAS TAXES!!! IF THE GOVERNMENT DIDNT WANT A CUT OF EVERYTHING THEY IT WOULD BE AT LEAST 50 CENTS CHEAPER!!!!!! |

Anyone who says you should not participate in the boycott is an oil industry minion.
OF COURSE we should all consume less. And we are! More and more people are biking when possible and doing their share.
This isn't about crippling the industry, it's about calling attention to the problem of unsustainable energy sources. |

1. There was no nationwide "gas out" in 1997. There was one in 1999, but it didn't cause gas prices to drop 30 cents per gallon overnight. In fact, it didn't cause them to drop at all. Despite the popularity of the email campaign, the event itself attracted scant participation and was completely ineffectual.
2. There are over 205 million Internet users in the United States, far more than the 73 million claimed.
3. If, say, a hundred million drivers refused en masse to fill up their tanks on May 15, the total of what they didn't spend could amount to as much as $3 billion. However, it doesn't follow that such a boycott would actually decrease oil companies' revenues by that amount, given that the average sales of gasoline across the entire U.S. is under $1 billion per day in the first place.
4. Whether the total impact was a half-billion, 3 billion, or 10 billion dollars, the sales missed due to a one-day consumer boycott wouldn't hurt the oil companies one bit. Think about it. Every single American who doesn't buy gas on Tuesday is still going to have to fill up their tank on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, making up for Tuesday's losses. Sales for the whole week would be normal, or very close to it.
A meaningful boycott would entail participants actually consuming less fuel -- and doing so in a sustained, disciplined fashion over a defined period of time -- not just choosing to wait a day or two before filling up as usual. |
