you know what my family and i aren't, if ur against it then why aer you an american. see this is exactly why we can't get gas prices down. nobody can work together for one day. you know, mayb if everybody would do it then we might want to try for 2 days or a weak. but everybody thinks it stupid. well i'd rather try to do something than do nothing. right now i'm pretty mad about the responces that you got. they think that we are the dumb ones, but it's their stupidity that keeps us from going forward and not getting the gas prices down. and yes i do think the government is pushing us around, because it's pretty sad that we have to do this to get their attention. and you know it's also rich greedy people who keep the gas prices so high. they've got it made with a glass of lemonade.they don't care how much gas prices are so i don't expect them to do anything. but you asked and i want everyone to know.

I don't know about chain letters or the like, but I can tell you that I like any legal action that has the remotest chance of making a statement. Because these oil barons need to be sent a strong, unified message that our patience is wearing out. So, I'm not buying gas tomorrow, or the next day either. And I have less than a half a tank in the old Dodge Stratus. I have stopped topping off my tank once a week. I'm not going to give those bums one dime more than I have to. I'm doing less traveling. Sunday drives for the wife and I out to the country are over the time period. And whenever my co-workers feel like car pooling, I'm ready. So those of you who are so critical of others who are trying to make a difference consider this, what does it hurt?

I won't be buying gas tomorrow. Not because of any lame-azz boycott, either. I don't need it. Millions of people won't be buying it for exactly the same reason. Let's do a little logical thinking here for just a minute. Very few people buy gas every day. For the sake of argument, let's say that people get gas once a week, like I do. Not everyone gets gas the same day of the week. Let's say for argument's sake that it's a pretty even distribution. Less than15 percent of the total number of people buying gas normally getting gas on any given day. So do you REALLY think that if 15 percent of the driving public boycotts gas stations on ONE day of the week, that it's really going to have any effect, since they will have to get that gas sometime anyway? And do you REALLY think that ALL 15 percent of the fuel-buying public will not buy gas tomorrow?

Only the dumb people who have fallen for the stupid chain mail letter that has failed every year since 1999 will be boycotting tomorrow.
Look, if everybody drove a little less, drove a little slower, cut the idling, and stopped the unnecessary trips, consumption would go down, inventory would go up, and nobody raises prices on what they can't sell. It is a total waste of time to just move dollars from one day to another or one company to another. This is kindergarten economics.

I don't get the point- we're going to be buying it sometime anyway, unless we do the smart thing and ditch gas, go for bio-fuels, public transportation, and active transportation.
