May 19th is the official "Don't buy gas day." If no one buys gas for a single day gas companies will lose over 4.6 BILLION dollars forcing prices to go down. Heres the whole article that my buddy got in an email:

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 ADMINISTRATION 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, TRUCKING 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�
REMEMBER
DO NOT BUY GAS!!!!
MAY 19, 2004

Help us save on Gas!!!

 

thanks...i'm always down!! i'll pass this on through my work email!!! ~about 30 people

 

Im doing it h:

 

it is n it will be very very hard or impossible to get everyone in the world to not buy a single drop of gas on all of one day, but i aint going to buy any gas on that day

 

Does anybody know what the results were? Anything?

 

do you guys know why the gas prices are going? The bush familly is extremlly good freinds with the sadi arabian royal familly they are holding back gas exports in order to raise the prices then it is planned for around august or september to open the wells up flood hte market and drop the price 30 cents making bush a hero and helping the relection the old bush did it and now this one is to. Our economy does not matter to any presdient ever it's all about realection

 

I didn't buy gas because I didn't need to.... but I question if this whole 'event' had any impact.

 

yeah i want to know what happened, on that day as i was driving ALMOST every single gas station had po po standing by over there.

 

what do you mean? was he just postin up there?

 

I believe this has been tried before. I hate conspiracy theories, and regardless, the commercial industries HAVE to use a lot of gas, EVERY day. It would never work.
