Boycotting gas for one day will not affect the market. See this link for more info:

I don't get it, the US pays so little for gas, why is that? Yeah a gallon is about to be $3.00 USD, SO? We pay over $4.00 USD for a gallon in Canada and no one freaks out as much, and I've had visitors come over from the UK and say we pay less than they do.

Unfair!

[noeymc]

Well lets see here how much roughly do you make I don't make enogh a gollon of gas is getting to closer and closer to my hour per pay so I am working for really like $3dollars now not really fair so ucan cry some more

[noeymc]

So do something if you don't like your prices we are trying to

[CaptainRich]

Kudos, for the reminder. Everyone should boycott on the 15th. But did you know, Citgo Gas, owned by Chavez, has changed it's "name" to Petro Gas. My brother, who lives in Alaska, said that's the only [I]major[I][I] gas station in town ( a very small town: approx 5000 ) I still recommend boycott. That's the only way they will see our individual opinion so quickly! TALK TO ME!!

While it is relatively less than people pay in other countries, if my understanding is correct, our recent increases have been significatly more than elsewhere. It's not how much we pay as much as it is how much it has increased.

Look, if people don't buy gas on the 15th, they'll make up for it on the 14th or the 16th. It won't change anything. The only way a boycott could possibly work is if you actually affect the amount of gas consumed. A 1 day boycott won't do that.

[Lowtax4eva]

Damn, we could all move to venezuela and take their country by storm, 14 cents a gallon, and I was surprised, the UK is well over $5.00 USD a gallon

And switch to a more economical vehicle now! Give up the "image" and look to alternatives to fossil fuels. I'm not a tree-hugger or anything about global warming ( this planet is still evolving, for crying out loud ), but we can slow down the process... The first step is acknowledging...

[Lowtax4eva]

Yes! And ethanol is a good starting spot, its cheaper to produce and should cost less once all gas stations start offering it.

[alkalineangel]

Yeah, well where I live, there is a little gathering called the Kentucky Derby Festival going on right now and gas jumped like 50 cents overnight... "ridikulus"! I don't think I can even afford the drive downtown to the race tomorrow... lol.. guess I'll miss her majesty the Queen.

[alkalineangel]

Hey walmart has started using at least 10% ethanol in its gas... we are getting there. I am seriously considering switching to greasal...

REPORT THEM FOR GOUGING!

[alkalineangel]

Can you do that? It happens every year... and during Thunder... even when the barrel price goes down... like it just did

[Northwind_Dagas]

I'm not sure it's truly gouging. There may just be a higher demand during those periods when we have tons of visitors to the city, thus driving up the cost.

This is untrue another urban legend

[CaptainRich]

YES, YOU CAN! It's not popular or even easy. You're fighting city hall, so to speak, because they like the increase in local tax revenue... But e-mailing your local congressional members, and representatives as well, until someone answers. DON'T LET UP! Appeal to the media. Whatever it takes.

This is untrue another urban legend

READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE!

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Citgo Boycott/Buycott
Adding it's name or changing it's name: Petro sells Chavez fuel! Either way, boycotting fuel purchases effects oil prices. What does that tell us? If we begin to rely on or learn to utilize alternatives, so much sooner the better.

[Fr_Chuck]

Northwind is totally correct


First on a one day boycott there will be no effect what so ever on gas supplies, the trucks from the supplier comes once a week or once every two weeks to the gas station, so people not buying on the 15th will buy more on the 14th or the 16th unless they just don't use any gas that day

So the gas supplier will see no decrease in sell at all, and the gas refinery will not see even a notice of this.

The only person hurt a little will be the store owner who will not sell as many sodas, candy bars and junk food that people buy when they buy gas. So you will hurt the coke and Pespi company more than the gas companies
