i'm really tired of prices going up man

e3NiNe

prices for gas are determined more by global situations more than consumer demand. The oil market is extremely over sensitive.

also, gas isn't expensive, it's the taxes imposed on it.

I do that now. And so does a lot of people that I know. h:

That 10 people to 10 people logic is so stupid, it totally ignores the fact that many people will be told more than once and lots of people don't give a shit.

It won't work. Not organized enough. Now if you sent this to everyone you knew and said don't buy on Tuesdays and you posted that every where on the net and at every pump and people cared enough maybe it would work.
