Tomorrow Dont buy gas
So the word is that tomorrow is gas strike day. Everyone is suppose to not buy gas tomorrow , like its gonna do something, but who cares give it a shot.
Its been going around by word of mouth and text messages so I hear. A buddy told me.

Even if everyone boycots tomorrow, they will be buying the next day...it doesn't work
Hence for the need for alternatives if we want the price of gas to come down.
But don't count on it ever happening (the price coming down too much).

the government doesnt control the gas prices you guys need to realize that, people like me you own the stocks and set the bid of the company. and given there is only two american gas companys left, the government doesnt control it

Europe pays the USD equivalent of 5 dollars PER LITER not gallon, LITER. 3.8 liters to a gallon thats $19 per gallon we have NOTHING to complain about, we are a spoiled society because we had $.99per gallon gas 10 years ago.

DING! People would rather blame Bush, our government, OPEC etc. The fact is it's a ton of factors. Our dollar is down, speculators are influencing the price, a lot of refineries are outdated etc.
Regardless of the reasons it sucks for us.

Europe builds their road taxes into the gas so it's an unfair comparison to say Europe pays $5+ pre gallon.

You're not going to buy gas tomorrow... and just fill up MORE gas next time you do fill up?
Because that makes sense....

I heard this too. We're stuck, the only way to make a difference would be to stop using gas and that won't happen, anytime soon at least.

Welcome to free market capitalism.
When the demand is constant, constrict the supply and take an Uncle Scrooge bath in all of your money.
