Don't pump gas on May 15th ....

[JasonKey]

Generally I would never circulate something like this, and likely many of you guys have seen this .. but I like this one, and think its an interesting manipulation. Not vouching for the math, but still, I know things like this do have an impact.

Considering that gas here in the mountains of NC is hitting $2.95 a gallon, I figured, ah what the heck, right?


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 not to 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 users do 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.

Feel free to post this and forward this around, likely if this hits enough sites and forums, it could actually make a difference.

Have fun folks!
