I received an interesting email today. I normally don't open forwards, but the topic of gas prices sparked my interest. I'm hesitant to think that something like this could work, but it certainly makes one wonder...
In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in
protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon
overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station
in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most
places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the Internet network,
and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil
companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station
on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry
for at least one day.
Do you think this is possible?

im gonna pump gas a lot this day in protest
Most of the problem with oil prices and supply lies with the environmentlists. Their interference concerning the building of new refineries and the drilling of ANWR are to blame for our lack of supply and dependency on foreign oil. So no I don't think it would work and it would be impossible to get everyone to not pump gas. Booyah
