Thumbs down Don't buy gas on sundays

I saw a certain newscaster suggest not buying gas on sundays, I think it will help show the oil companies that we are still customers and we do control the market

Don't buy gas on sundays

tell all your friends and family and it might make a difference

I heard on the internet that if everyone doesn't buy gas for 2 months all the gas stations will go out of business.

Lets do it!

everyone post myspace bulletins and threads on other boards you visit!

yes, it's true. I heard, if you buy it on wednedays, at 3:23 PM and 12 seconds. Otherwise, it won't work.

also, you must also buy beef jerky and redbull from the gas station to make them lower their prices on Oberto jerky and redbull.

i would get gas today. Texas puts out like 1/4 of america's oil/gas. So if Rita does hit blah blah blah gas will go up. Thats just me though.

don't buy gas EVER!!! I think we're all screwed. The idealist in me would hope that would make some kind of impact, but in the grand scheme of things what the oil companies don't make that one day they make up when you eventually need the stuff. As for customers controling the market, that's really hard to believe when the prices keep on climbing higher and higher. Oil companies will always have an excuse to justify the higher prices whether it's true or not.

If you want to make a difference buy an alternative fuel vehicle....of course that's not going to happen so just bend over and take it...we're all screwed.
