NO GAS...On May 15th 2007
Don't pump gas on may 15th
Body: ...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 wouldn't) resend this to
all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump
gas on May 15th"
