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 companys pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets 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 wouldnt) ...resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th' |

actually the taxes were lowered last year after katrina and have not gone back up, the last increase on taxes brought them to an average of .75 a gallon which was dropped back to .49 per gal IIRC. this doesn't count state and city taxes, you cali guys are being hit for another .30 per gallon I believe. the filling stations are making about .2-.4cents per gallon, figure .15 cents per for transport and the cost of refining at about .10 cents per, we're still getting hosed.
