don't pump gas on april 15, 2012

saw someone post this on facebook

what do you think about it?

i think it's a stupid idea. wasn't it already decided that not buying gas on a certain day doesn't cause them to lose money because you will still have to buy gas the next day?

No it would put a dent in Canadian oil industry.

Worthless, the gas was already purchased by the gas stations, it will be bought the next day

Yea that's pretty stupid. "don't buy it 'this' day, but it 'this' day instead"... You bought the gas, the day doesn't matter all that much. And ^ you'll, at most, hurt the gas stations income, not the oil company's.

I will pump the gas on april 15.

I will pump that gas hard

The only way to put a dent in the oil industry is by having cars that didn't run on f***ing gas, and I'm wondering right now why the hell I even bothered typing the obvious.

Such a silly idea.

Even if this made sense under the law of supply and demand gasoline prices haven't been reflecting supply and demand for years now.

More gas for me.

That's a stupid idea. That simply defers payment until a day or two later, thereby not removing any money from the oil companies. If you really want the idea to work, have a "Don't drive on X day". That reduces consumption, and consequently, profit.

Tell everyone that the pumps are out of gas forever.

The gas stations already purchase the gas. It would be hurting them more than the oil companies if I'm not mistaken. It would take more than a single day to persuade gas companies to drop their prices..

I'm not driving anyways. I've decided to ride a bike instead of giving my money to oil and gas companies that are gouging with their prices. I've been considering on buying an E-bike Conversion Kit to use if I want to cruise around. At a possible speed of 50 MPH, I'll be able to travel long distances in a short amount of time. Invest in a solar panel charger and I'll never need to worry about a dying battery on the trip home from where ever I'm at...

i'll try to do this, and let's see what happens

This is so pointless. You're still buying gas the day before or after so sales would be higher than normal. It will have no impact what so ever.ExoticAnimal
