So youll buy their gas on May 1st and May 3rd?
The ONLY hope of sending a message with actual results is the same unrealistic uniform boycott of the largest oil company Exxon/Mobile and dont buy ANY of their gas EVER. Problem is they are turning RECORD hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars in profits so in reality your sticking it to the independent gas station franchisee who is struggleing by on his own. The hope is the gas station owners would be forced to pressure the big boy execs into cutting into those profits and giving Americans a break at the pump.
Not buying on 1 particular day does NOTHING. |

Not buying on 1 particular day does NOTHING. | Make it a week. Take public transportation, don't buy gas, rided your bikes...etc. Chicago transit authority charges $2 1ride, $2.25 three rides to get around. Now I work 28miles from my job so my car gets 18 mpg. Gas $4 a gallon. I can take public transportation for $4.50 both ways instead of say $12 driving.  Not to mention that if you get a all day card, you ride all day for $5.  |

I only buy gas from BP now... I used to use Mobil and Texaco - but I gave that up. I hope I'm doing my part... The one day gas strikes don't do anything, however...
