        This comes up every year, and every year it makes absolutely no difference.

            This wouldn't work even if everyone did it simply cause people won't buy less gas with this they just buy it on a different day

              This never works. Now, if we got everyone in the US to ride their huffys for a month, we might put a dent.

                im riding my motorcycle everywhere I go...50 miles/gallon. That means I have to fill up less. We should all get bikes or hybrids. But then they would just raise the price more because everbody was filling less.

                  in MY opinion our government sucks. they know that gas to us "kids" as they call us is like water, or medicine for a sick person. we need it and they know that. no matter what we do our economy still will go down and they will still profit. i think that bushs goal now is to get the usa out of debt and he doesnt care who he has to run over to do that

                    I didn't like either of the candidates this last time but if bushes goal was to get the U.S. out of debt we wouldn't be in a war that is causing the debt to go up every day... that is what put us in worse shape again instead of continuing to go down like we were before it

                      i really like the bike idea. was going to buy one but found a 240 for dirt cheap and i'll be happy with high 20's on the highway and high teens in town. that like double the milage i get with the jeep

                        exactly. keyword being 'might.'

                        not buying gas on one day means that people just have to buy more gas on other days. either way, they still make the same amount of money.. just on different days.

                            i was just watching cnn and the reason for the high gas prices is for this big hurricane and that makes no sense. you would think that if all these cities are flooded that there would be no need for gas there so it would be cheaper else were. but thats not how it works.

                                And alot of other places...

                                Seriously, because crude oil production is down, that means that within hours the price at the pump is affected? fuck that, when i worked at a gas station, we got filled up by the tanker once a week, at the most.

                                but i really dont care, i will buy gas no matter what price it is at, and really do not look or care about the price. its worthless even thinking about it

                                  Oil wells in the gulf shut down and the refinerys in those area's shut down they arn't quite like texas and oklahoma but they have quite a few in that area they are all shut down I.E. NOT AS MUCH BEING PRODUCED.... SUPPLY AND DEMAND sucks for us great for the refinerys that are still going

                                      All the bitching and moaning about gas prices doesn't change shit. As Americans we are crying about gas prices but do the math and convert liters to gallons and their currency to American currency and see what everyone else is paying. Eg. the UK is at about $9 American per gallon, the Netherlands is at about $6 American per gallon.

                                      Oh, and even if everyone in the WORLD didn't buy gas for a day, it wouldn't change the fact that you don't live in this house and the guy that supplies gas to us does. 🙂

                                          free health care is based on higher taxes.
