NO GAS...On May 15th 2007

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 to not 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 all users did 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 companys 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.

If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldnt) resend this to all your contact list via e-mail. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"

:lol:

I heard about this earlier today; a co-worker sent me the forward.

ugh....some people really have no common sense. whoever started that chain is an idiot.

snopes.com states it well:
Consumers' not buying gasoline on one particular day doesn't affect oil companies at all. The "gas out" scheme doesn't call upon people to use less gasoline, but simply to shift their date of purchase and buy gas a day earlier or later than they usually would. The very same amount of gasoline is sold either way, so oil companies don't lose any money.

Stop buying cars and honkin' huge SVUs instead. :p

So I'll buy it on the 16th instead. If my car needs gas, it needs gas. I have to get to work.

Exactly! I've got a compact car and get great gas mileage. I don't see why anyone would want to get a huge SUV/truck where you only get like 15 miles to the gallon. Doesn't really make sense to me.

i would get the gas on May 14
