Boycotting would be a good idea if we could tell every person owning a car they use in the U.S

Contact USA Today. I'm sure they'll put something like this in a section of they're paper.

Sounds good. I'll tell my sisters.

That's $100-$120 right there.

I guess we'll find out what happens after today. Like was already stated, it's not like anyone's asking you to do something, they're asking you to NOT do something for one day. The worst that will happen is the prices stay the same, so why fight it? Just go with the flow. Don't pump any gas today

You guys need to do a long-term boycott for gas for this idea to work. Maybe a two-week boycott or something.

The only solution is to find an alternative source of energy; this is what we should be truly promoting.

As if we haven't found alternative sources of energy? It's been done a few times, and the oil companies have shut it down and made it disappear each time.

As the need for oil grows, and oil becomes scarce, the companies will run out of room to grow. Time works against them, though the owners don't care; they'll be long dead.

To think seven pages have already been filled on this asinine topic. These days they are too many Ignorant sadistic liberal fascits who think they're all knowing just because they catch a whiff of a tiny quip some idiotic interest group states. A basic economics course will teach one that these piss poor tactics are a waste of time and space.

Haha I got my parents to join in on the counter-protest.

Fortunately my mom did not fill up my car yesterday when she took it to work, so now I can gas up after we spend all day feeding the oppressive clothing industries.

If they want to appease their dumb customers, they'll just lower the price to what it was on Friday.

Or lower the prices to what they were in 1912.

I made a slight mistake, as of last year Exxon profitted 5.71% for every dollar (5.71 cents.)

The convenience of the placement of the gas station will always override that nForcer.

People are lazy, no one wants to drive an extra few blocks to save money.

Not if people make a conscious effort. Too many people are dependent on gasoline, so a gas-out isn't really effective. I mean, yeah, the logic behind it "working before" is great, but it only sends a message; it doesn't really affect the oil companies. I was willing to do it just to help send that message, but the price drop (if there is one) will be artificial in nature. If we make a serious effort to cripple the largest oil company in the U.S., we might actually make some progress. Remember, the oil companies may control price, but they also rely on us to meet those prices. If we refuse to meet their ridiculous demands, what else can they do but give in?
