don't buy gas on 5/15/07
 
Mite have been posted before. But in case you have not seen it. I'll pass it on.


"Don't buy gas on the 15th if one fourth of the country doesn't buy gas for 24 hours the gas companies lose 2 billion dollars and it will lower prices... Its called the F-U gas company day.. And it will lower the gas prices"

dcarr511 05-07-2007 04:20 AM

buy it on the 14th or 16th instead. The only way you will hit the oil co. is to stop using as much gas as we do. Not buying it on one certain day will do nothing.

I agree, picking a day to protest will do nothing, driving something that's better on gas will do something.

GBoven72 05-07-2007 06:48 PM

I was told that the reason is they will drop the price in the next day or so to make up for the loss. So we can save a buck or two and stick it to the man,lol. Now mind you this is not my idea, nore do i know if it will work. I was just told it happened in 97 or 99 and worked. And beside what can it hurt to try it?

i agree what would it hurt to try it

LOL....they would mess it up, someone would forget to put the bolt that ties the horses to the coach, or it would just barely be in and cause an accident

Scot would put the Shoe,s on Backwards

slowman 05-07-2007 08:38 PM

if i run out of gas on the 15th i will be pissed and have to walk lol. i get about 4-5 miles to gallon i guess i should find something a little better on gas lol.

mytmouz 05-07-2007 08:44 PM

I believe that while doing this won't hurt them from a fiscal standpoint as you'll need to buy gas eventually, a large showing might get their attention...

fastbowtie 05-07-2007 08:50 PM

Jeff if your going to run out of gas on the 16th just order Take Out

slowman 05-07-2007 09:10 PM

thanks don but i'm 20 mile from anything take out or having something deliver is out of the question. i would have a hart attack walking 20 mile for gas lol. i would have to drive the tractor to town. green acres is the place for me farm living is the life for me. can we ad to the song lol.

We'd have far greater impact if everyone drove 10% less overall

lotsof454sss 05-08-2007 12:58 PM

I saw they even mentioned the 15 TH NO GAS DAY on CNN this morning..I read an article last night this has been going on since 1999...I agree it will not change anything but at least I will not have to look at the local non American station owner nor smell his cooked goat....That is worth the effort...Also I started driving a Ford Escort ZX2 and a 91 Nissan Sentra and have gotten the motor cycle or engine cycle out and riding it....If a motor is run on electricity how come we have motor cycles hummmm....I have not voted yet either because of this motor/engine cycle theory...

One step at a time my friend, one step at a time.

Murff 05-08-2007 08:36 PM

I have a ZX2 as well. Pretty soon it's gonna be cheaper to run that on C12 instead of pump gas.

Gas Milage?
 
Can anyone guess on gas milage with my 540 engine. Hoping to run it on the street in 2008. Still working on the 20 gal tank with some saddle tanks for the Cruise. LOL. 540 10.3 comp, 4:10's, 33' tires, Victor intake, 1050 dominator. I was guessing 5 miles to the gallon. Big solid roller cam. Am I dreaming?

Bingo ... but we would rather pick certain days not to buy gas and think we are doing something

lmchevy 05-14-2007 04:51 PM

Grab your ankles. :evil:

jimmybiggs 05-16-2007 04:20 AM

Well howd it go??? If you all remember correctly the Democrats said elect them and gas would go down...... I guess 1) You forgot what they said 2) they lied

chevguy65 05-16-2007 04:22 AM

Well, I didn't buy any gas but I did eat tacos for dinner last night :shock:

3dracing 05-16-2007 07:25 AM

That's the idea, don't buy it make your own.
