dont pump gas

NO GAS...On May 15th 2007

Don't pump gas on may 15th

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 let's try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.

If you agree (which I can't see why you wouldn't) resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, "Don't pump gas on May 15th"

[w1ck3d0n3l0st]

Well i will be at the gas station gettin gas some time that day it is just something that has to happen for life to go on do we has people really think we can take a stand and make something happen into todays world where the rich get what they want i don't think so.Gas prices never dropped 30 cent overnight. i seen them go up 20 cents over night do.never drop but 5 cents over night.Sorry to say but if you want to get cheap gas get out of the usa.

[Wilder4Racin]

I seen on the tv Wednesday that they are predicting gas to be over $4 a gallon by the mid of summer. Just when ya think prices cant get much higher, they fool your a$$

[jhofficial]

Ok folks I went and found it for ya

Not buying gas for one day or one week will not have any effect on prices. Now if all pooled our money and built a refinery then we could make a difference, but unless we all can raise about a 100 billion dollars guess we are out of luck.

I will be buying gas on the 14th will fill up and on the 15th i will be filling up again about mid way of the day.It will never happen people got to get the gas everyday.

[Racerchaser]

don't buy gas on the 15th of May.
Now lets look at this, are we going to PARK police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, other safty vehicles. Shut down all major cities garbage collection and other jobs that the cities have too. Shut down all state vehicles and county vehicles. Airports and airplanes and so on and so on until we have no protection or any thing because some ya- hoo thinks not pumping gas for one day is going to make an inpact on the gas companys. Those citizens that don't pump on the 15th will pump on the 14th or 16th so what have you done but look stuid.

[KOUNTRYGURL]

It may not do anything for the gas prices but it would show that we as a nation can stick together. Of course, not everybody can do without gas on the 15th but if just 50% did, think of the numbers. My $60 will be missing from the cash register on the 15th.

[dirtracer76]

lay out of work that day LOL

cant , it will cut into my 50 hour week

[Unregistered]

well i am going to say that not pumping gas today will not change the gas price!!! but i have found out that getting up off of ur lazy butts and walking in town more will save and also car pooling works too so thats the only way you will save ur money!!!

[crewmembers461]

all i gotta say its a shame that gas in middlesex is 3.05 and gas is 2.85 in wilson at the walmart . the store in middlesex in middlesex is a distibutor and still higher than everybody else trying to make an extra dollar its really price gouging i guess:help:

[jhofficial]

I just thought I'd let all yall know, I will be leaving today at 3pm headed to the gas sation! Who wants to join me. Oh yeah gonna get me truck washed to, so I guess I will be making the water rates in Halifax co increase as well:Supprise: :pi_sharpteeth: :blue25: :blue17:

[dirtracer76]

I wish it cost me $60.00 to fill my truck,lol..
to Fill My Truck at $3.19 Mid grade a gal X 33 gal's = $105.27 OUCH!:Supprise:

[jhofficial]

I use the cheap stuff 2.97 a gallon at 40 gal trank you do the math and oh by the way I get less than 15 miles a gallon OUCH

[Racerchaser]

John you gotta pay to play

[jhofficial]

John you gotta pay to play

If you gonna ride in whatca want and go were you want, your right its gonna cost ya

[battenfan4life]

it cost me about 30.00 to fill my truck up.

[jhofficial]

it cost me about 30.00 to fill my truck up.

Either you found some cheap gas or that tank is some kinda small it takes 50 bucks just to fill up my wifes taruras

[battenfan4life]

its probaly a small tank on it, i've only filled it up once or twice since i got it. its a '88 ford ranger extended cab, it does pretty good on gas, i've put about 15 dollars in it this week and it hasn't come above empty yet but the reason behind that i s because i run it below empty and it just takes the extra to come above empty. its a nice riding truck, just wish i could figure out why the check engine light keeps coming on. i've been told that it could be the catilac converter or the oxygen censors on it.

[Racerchaser]

John,He might be telling us all. He might not let it get down below 1/8 or so before he puts in it. He said it takes $30.00 to fill it but how often does he put gas in it.??????



$30.00 for gas
$3.00 per gallon
I figure he gets 10 gallon but that stilll don't tell us the size of the tank unless he useing a boat tank.

[L8models]

0ver 60 bucks to fill up my truck Sunday afternoon.

[JRhodes]

$50 is what the pump cut off on last night, it would have held $53 with the guage sitting on 1/4 tank.

[jhofficial]

Check this out I went to a gas station the other day friday I think lol and tthe pump cuts off when useing your credit credit card at 50 bucks. I had to do it three times to finally get it crammed full lmao

[Racerchaser]

cost me $82.00 yesterday to fill my pick-up, but as John said that is the comfort I chose to ride in. It just means another acre of corn I got to grow. I can't change the price of it so you go with the flow..........

[Racerchaser]

How much was the gas john and how many gallons did you pump or did you fill up the body too (LOL)

[jhofficial]

2.97 a gallon. I run mine all the way to the bottom then I over fill it back to the top. So with a 40 gallon tank if its in the organge it takes about $115 to fill it all the way to the brim.

[battenfan4life]

ya'll ain't driving reg. vehicles, ya'll are driving tanks

[JRhodes]

Yeah those dumb pay at the pumps everywhere limit you to fifty dollars. The stores say they lose money when people pay at the pump like that. How the hell they do it, I don't know?

[gb81racing]

i saw gas for $3.07 gallon for regular unleaded in fayetteville today

[JRhodes]

Had a friend recently visit the west coast and it seems we need to quit our gripping over here. $4.25 for 87 octane in San Jose California, $4.15 for 87 in Seattle Washington. I had the tighten up cringe when he told me that.

[RaceJunkie]

I put $60.00 in my truck yesterday at a Handee Hugos in Garner..:confuzeld:

[racinmech53]

It cost me 75.01 to fill my 01 GMC Sierra kinda makes you cringe. what made Me more upset than anything I had just finished a job for 100.00 and only had 24.99 left and had to buy Milk and Bread ...go figgure

[DOCCALLAHAN]

Just Think About The Guys Hauling Race Cars With Haulers That Only Get 9 To 10 Miles To Gallon Back And Forth To Race Tracks Then If You Get Rained Out It Cost Twice As Much Just To Go Back And Make The Same Money

[JRhodes]

[crewmembers461]

[LRR#84]

P.s.- presisdent bush my extended family member( oh hell whoops i told everyone that as you can tell i dont want yall to know) can go straight to hell!
