ill make sure to fill up all my vehicles that day.

 

As ish said, it's an internet hoax, folks. But if you believe everything you read in email or on the internet, then by all means don't buy gas on that specific day. You'll just have to buy that much more when you do eventually fill up.

Two previous BAIC threads posted about boycotting gasoline purchases:

I was watching powerblock tv today, and on Trucks they showed how to make bio-deisel (sp?) fuel....anyone done a wrx diesel conversion???

they made gas for about 70 cents/gal...but I doubt that factored in the mcahine that mixed everything

 

truckers who do not work for large trucking companies are getting screwed with the current gas prices. i also saw on TV that some of them refuse to drive now...they LOSE money with current gas prices.

 

Diesel is ~ $3.15-$3.20 per gallon now. Higher in areas that are frequented by the larger commercial vehicles. So I'm not surprised that the non-corporate truck drivers aren't driving these days. They'd have to charge a bloody fortune just to haul something locally, let alone doing long line runs.

I drive a diesel pickup as my daily driver and these fuel prices are ridiculous. I've been sorely tempted to go buy a couple barrels of marine diesel and put em in my garage to fill up my truck.

Think of it this way though. Last I checked 100 octane was still about $3.80 - $4.00 per gallon if you buy it direct from the distributor. So if the pices for 92 keep going up, it'll be much easier to justify running on 100 all the time.

my god you are retarded for believing those emails...the gas company WONT go bankrupt over that since the gas stations have ALREADY bought their supply for gas and if anything they would raise the prices to compensate for the loss in sales or inflate some other product in their store to make up for the loss and of course eventually ull need gas just like everyone else so u really cant do jack **** about it...just suck it up and keep driving but conserve and dont go behotching about getting a hybrid car those cost too much ,get a diesel or even hell an older CRX HF if u really want 40-50mpg

 

lol.

 

......

 

isn't it same as....do not fish on saturday, because its a holy day but u put the fish net on friday, pull it up on sunday and say i did not fish on saturday. or something like that.....

 

F*&% the gas companies, I'm not buying anymore gas until it comes back down below $3/gal.


that might be a long time, but seriously we are getting raped.

 

Ugh, burritos for lunch, I have lots of gas right now *erp* <'scuse me>

 

yes we are getting rapped since we're not used to this...but in many other euro countries its 6-12$/gallon so we're still cheaper...but its not what we're used to when guzzling down gas lol im pissed about it just as much as anyone else, but thats why i got an RS instead of the roaring mustang i wanted

 

Hope you like PT or plan on buying an electric vehicle of some kind... I think Gas will hit $4 a gallon for 91.

 

In european countries the gas price is so high because of taxes. In most of those countries the taxes are what pays for their health care system, and everyone is covered.

In our country, the employers pay for the bulk of the health care and so if you don't have a regular full time position, or if you're a contractor then you don't have any employer paid health care. Some full time employers do cover only the worker, not his/her family.

I am not saying one system is better than the other, but to compare our gas prices with europe, realize that their prices are crazy because of govt taxes, not just the availability of oil and gas.

 

Dude, those are the days when I fill up!!!

No long lines!!! :banana:
