Is anyone actually following the boycott plans by not buying gas today?

http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/nogas.asp

Its a huge deal on myspace.. as well as a couple of other huge sites.. just curious if anyone is buying into the hype?

 

gas boycotts are for idiots.

 

I filled up...

 

I have to buy gas and the expensive kind :-\

Oh well it'll go back down one day.. hopefully..

 

I am not following it. I will just wait till we are all in the same boat & broke. Then the Gas Companys might wake up.

 

It sucks for me because my dad is a head hancho in a big oil company.. which will hurt my families income.. bottom line is.. if people do this ****.. it eventually trickles down to the families who are employeed by them as well. Hurting their income and possibly getting laid off..

What to do ... What to do..

 

I'm not filling up today, but that's only because I just filled up yesterday. Nothing is going to change and gas isn't going down one penny.

 

It won't ever make that much of a difference for the oil companies. A few thousand people not buying gas will not hurt them a bit.

Until there is an alternative fuel, gas/oil will always be a necessity which will keep them in business.

 

go read up on snopes.com about these ridiculous "gas boycott" schemes. They won't accomplish ****. Do you think every gas consumer in the world has the internet and got the memo?

 

I was simply just curious if people had a second opinion.. I already stated I was not buying into it.. but there is no harm in asking everyone else..

 

...especially when oil is traded under what gas will be at a certain time

 

Hey Laura, I agree. I filled the Z today. People got to get to work.

 

trickles down.. doubt they are gonna cut salary for a day boycott , gas companies are at a all time high billions and billions from what they where just a few years ago i wish i was on top of that

 

nah it would take a while.. but people are seriously considering doing stupid ****..there are like "no gas for the month of june" bull crap going along.. but yeah it sucks.. lol..

 

every year they do the gas boycott **** and every year it gets a huge
put $33 in this morning on the way to work

 

i haven't paid for any gas today.. hell every day i don't have to put gas in my cars is a boycott. if know one boycotts today though, it will show that we as a ls1 gas guzzling society , are gullible and they will continue to gas rise prices... Yeah its ok if you have a ricer or something but if i put a 6.0 in place of the ls1 in my t/a i will be forced to park it. lol it's called inflation. just my opinion and my common knowledge from business class.

 

Maybe you start stripping to help support pops!



P.S. - Just cause you posted this...I'll make sure to fill up today.

Cliff's notes on 1-day gas boycott - this doesn't change demand. It just changes when people buy. Even if everybody in the US were prepared and didn't buy gas today...guess what? They bought it extra yesterday, and they will buy extra tomorrow. So the gas companies sell nothing for one day, but they made up for it in extra sales yesterday and extra sales tomorrow. How does this accomplish ANYTHING? It doesn't. A boycott happens when people STOP USING something. Who cares when you buy it if you continue to use it. The only way something like this could ever make a difference is if people actually significantly reduced their gasoline consumption for a long period of time. The whole concept of a 1-day gas buying boycott being effective is retarded.

 

Aww babe your evil!! Payback tonight though for sure!
