Don't pump gas on May 15th.

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 Americans are asked to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now almost $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the Internet and the average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.

If all American s did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,200,000,000.00 (that's BILLION) out of the oil company's 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 wouldn't) resend this titled 'Don't pump gas on May 15th'--

oh please, you know this won't work. People will have to fill up eventually. The only way to make this work is if people demand less.......basically start car pooling, using motorcycles, public transportation. Then it might work, but I'm still skeptical on that.

Well, I probably won't buy gas on the 15th I have a weekly routine, work and school combined and a party or 2 on the weekends. Now I usually get a tank of gas on monday, and by Friday I need to fill her up again, and it definately lasts me through the weekend, So since I buy my gas on mondays, I won't be filling up on Tuesday the 15th.
