    OKAY! WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!! Gas Strike March 10th! This worked once before...let's try it again. On March 10 if everyone does not buy gas for one day, it will hurt the oil companies. It's time we stood up to them. We CAN have a voice...REMEMBER "MARCH" 10th DO NOT BUY GAS! Please repost this to as many people as you can...it is urgent that this spreads like wildfire!

    PS: Try not to fill up the day before or after so that this day will have an impact on the companies

    Thanks

    umm, this has never worked.

    Watch the news, OPEC is upping production to assist in getting the prices down. Cost of fuel (per Barrel) has already started to come down.


    Good luck on your quest.

    I don´t know what to do, we pay 2.25 PER LITRE!!!

    Thats 8.50 per gallon for those of you who don´t care to do the math...

    All in USD my friends, and I have a 100 miles just to work and back!

    Is there any reason to believe the oil companies are making higher profits than normal? Like price gouging? or are they just passing on the rising cost of a barrel? If you're trying to hurt OPEC then not filling your car here in the US for 1 day is only going to cause you a little bit of inconvenience (and maybe hurt your independent gas station operator a bit).

    On the other hand, you might feel better at happy hour toasting "we sure showed them"...

    I'm with Brinker and Wattenburg. Thing to do would be to write Obama to declare that all new (non-military) government vehicles must be natural gas burners. That would result in natural gas fueling stations everywhere and everybody would be buying natural gas cars. 91 octane for my Hemi would go way down.

    Never worked. You'll buy gas the day after so no one will care.

    Our company is converting to CNG..slowly anyway. We had an exchanger issue as well as an injector change that set the conversion company back but slowly/surely it is happening. The dual service is odd to me...being able to push a button and switch from gasoline to CNG works though.

    It works. It's cheaper. The eco-nuts would be happy. We have butt loads of natural gas. The car manufacturers have cng vehicles (and if they don't it's simple to convert to making them). Only thing keeping it from happening is cng filling stations on every corner.

    I concur. We have 1 station in a couple hundred mile radius.

    I happen to work at a natural gas processing plant where we fractionate and sell the individual components...there is so much gas it is silly.
