i just read this on the internet somewhere but i guess tommarrow they are trying to get ppl to not buy gas.
if everybody in the us alone doesnt buy any gas, the oil comp's will lose 4.7 billion dollars.

I see these all the time, but no one ever does it. But I will do it. I'll buy what I need tonight, and forget about it tommorrow.

You know what would be funny. If everyone did this and then the next day the oil companies raised gas to $9.00 and $10.00 a gallon to cover the losses.

Lol, Calavera.
The losses would have to trickle down somehow....
And I don't think oil tycoons are giving up their phat (yes I said phat) living

Thats the most stupid tardy thing ever.
Everyone will just buy it on the 20th instead.
I estimate that gas companies will lose an estimated $0 and my controversial opinions about america, which i wont mention due to an impending lawsuit, will strengthen by around 750%.

I filled up yesterday (damn $22 to fill up my 12 gallon tank). Oh well, I'm glad I bought the RSX, instead of the VR-6 GTi as that needs premo. gas.

Yeah, I'm gonna stick it to the man. No gas today. I feel like I'm part of history.
oh, but... I don't have a car.
on another note, how do people expect this to work? Let's assue everyone who gets the message actually does it. It's not like anybody's actually going to buy less gas; they're just going to stock up a day early. The gas companies aren't going to lose any money from this.
I'm a lone wolf looking for trouble.

How about dissing the SUV instead? Let's make May 19th "Smash an SUV" day.
