I think it's a waste of time. Just reduce your driving/spending in other areas as much as possible to compensate. Luckily my car basically sits on campus for weeks on end and only gets moved twice every 2 weeks.
If people want to make a difference they will start pushing through interest groups, grass roots, and lobbying to press government in supporting the construction of public transportation.. The reason why the US is so addicted to oil compared to other countries is the car industries within the United States actively bought out and destroyed public transportation services so the automobile would be the mode of transportation of choice.. I would love to not need a car, but where I live there is no such thing as public transportation.

Cough GM cough. The cable cars of LA got dismantled because of that I dont like to say for certain but thousands of miles worth of track doesnt disappear for no reason. They were then replaced with crappy buses, but this was all history. Luckily white house had passed some bills for public trans as of late but highway funding still exceeds this.

I think the reason why we are addicted to oil is because, especially where I live, you need a car to get anywhere. Our society has been spread out by the car so we need the car to do anything. And no public transportation is going to come to my neighborhood.
And they'll be laughing at all of you when you fill up on the 16th... one day boycotts do not work. If you want to send a message to the oil industry, buy a bike.

Sucks I would love to have a mass transportation train system like most of the EU has.
