i've heard tons of people talk about this. not to mention, everyday on facebook that damn minifeed tells me more of my friends joined the group dedicated not to pump gas on may 15.
to each his own, but i'm keeping my car away from filling stations in a week.

i ain't got a car anyways so it doesn't matter to me, i was just looking at it logically.... how many people (prolly half the people who live in my city, have a 45+ min commute to houston or surrounding areas) are just gonna tell their jobs "i'm protesting today, so i won't be in" considering, most of these are office jobs and not fast food or something smaller and less caring....

look at it logically, even with that 30 cent decrease stated, i doubt it'll happen again...

then like i said, i'll just wait and see what happens....

Wow you guys are so negative. And its that negative attitude that will make this not work. Anything is worth trying. Unless you like spending over 3 dollars a gallon i dont see why you wouldnt do this. Its not just about money either. Its about doing whats right. These oil companies rob us everyday at the pump. I wouldnt be supprised if were paying 2 dollars over retail value. Its about making a statement. Just like how every vote counts in the presidential election, Every dollar counts on May 15th. Do whats right. Dont support the oil companies who support this useless war so that they can get their oil cheaper. Ride a bike, walk, skateboard, it wont kill you. But most of all, Make a statement aginst them. Make a statement aginst the War. DONT PUMP ON MAY 15th!!!


:hippy:

again i got no car so i don't really care, but c'mon.... why is it everyone trying to make a radical statement has the same argument "it's the negative attitude that will make this not work" the negative attitude plays little part in it working or not.... maybe if like a VAST majority (and i mean 25% AT THE BARE MINIMUM) did this, but do you REALISICLY think tha'ts gonna happen? i sure don't... like you said, you wouldn't be suprised if they're charging 3x as much.... so they get a few less 'pennies' in their pocket for a day... everything goes back to normal the next day... do you think they really caer that much? boycotts work when you take away a majority of the buisness, and keep it that way until they break, not one day...

I still am still liking the idea of sail or solar cars.

or I can set myself on fire in protest of higher gas prices. Explaining the fact that it costs way more to set oneself on fire than it used to.

I put in 15$ when it was 2.75 now it over 3$ I remember paying nearly 4 dollars to go visit my girlfriend in madison, wow what a waste!@! I'm glad I have a part time job, now I just need some more hours as it is working 28 hours over two week yields under 200$ o I could throw some more hours on there it'd be nice to have a cash flow :O I'm almost on E again I will def support the 15th.

I completely agree.....

In June of '05 the average price-per-drum of crude oil was $66........Average price-per-gallon was $2.15.

May 4th, just 4 days ago, when the market closed crude oil closed at $66.17 .....and the national average price-per-gallon is $3.07.

Now I've never been very good at math, but something just doesn't calculate there. President Bush is a fascist pig who owns more stock in US oil companies than any other person in the WORLD!!! For a little more insight read the book titled "W - The revenge of the Bush". It tells all about The Bush family and their oil addiction.

I won't filling up on the 15th.

i wish i had a car...... buses will do for now though

Gas companys need our everyday business to stay in business and will loose millions if no one pumps on may 15th. (assuming enough people decide not to pump). So unless you like paying over 3 dollars a gallon then DONT PUMP ON MAY 15th!!!:hippy:

:stupid:
What is good about the fact that gas price have gone up?? Now not only are people being forced to spend half of their paychecks on a tank of gas, the number of people using low octane fuel has increased threefold. Low octane gas emits more harmful particulates into the atmosphere than higher quality gas. People aren't going to quit buying gas, it's kind of a neccessity for a lot of people, so I'm trying, but I don't see any positives. Call me crazy.

How can you call someone stupid if you can't see any positives, or any reasons why others may see positives?

Try taking a less selfish view on the matter and maybe you might get a clue.
