Gasoline is so High- Blackout Day

Gasoline is so High- Blackout Day

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES DID NOT
PURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME,
THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.


AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF
OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL
COMPANIES.

THEREFORE MAY 19TH HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT TO THEM" DAY
AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF
GASOLINE THAT DAY.

THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS
MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD
OUT.


WAITING ON THIS ADMIINSTRATION TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN
PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?


REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF GASOLINE GOING UP BUT
AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TR#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&G
COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH EFFECTS PRICES ON
EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING
MATERIALS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE
DAY, WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE
YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE MAY 19TH A DAY THAT THE
CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"!!!

Every station around here went up 11 cents a gallon overnight--for reasons that are unclear.

My two local stations went down 3 cents... Is it the switch over to ethanol from MTBE ??

[Karl F]

every station around here went up at least 10 cents today... this AM, one I drive by several times a day was 2.94 at 7:30 AM, 2.98 at noon, and 3.04 at 7PM... WTF ... goes up while ya pump it, I swear... actually I've taken to swearin' a LOT!

Just the other day Diesel was $3.15 at the local stations, so I drove an extra 2-3 miles down the road, and what do you know $2.77. These peckeheards are really starting to piss me off. If I finally make the jump to BIO I will never go back to diesel again.

I dont think there is anything we can do...Everyone would have to do it like Bigfish said and it aint gonna happen

[BigFish]

<This is BigFish going fishing.....no matter how much gas costs!

Priceless!

I don't know why people think anything like this would ever work.

You're gonna use the same amount of gas either way, it doesn't matter which day you buy it on. Go ahead, don't buy gas on the
19th, what's that gonna do? You're gonna buy it on the 17th or 18th or the 20th. Unless you stop driving, the oil companies are still getting your money

I drove by the place near my house and it was $2.81 at 7am on the way home it was $2.97 it's same gas in the tanks why raise it?

I just posted it to see what everyone thought, I got it in an email from my mom. she is the Queen of spam mail and jokes

[NJTackle]

It just so happens that May 19th is my Birthday so yes....I will be buying beers instead of gas that day!

( Eff the oil companies! )

It may not be the same gas, they may have gotten a delivery, or are exspecting one at a higher price and are getting a jump on it. Now changing the price twice in one day is gouging, and I would report that to the Attourney Generals office of Consumer Affairs.
