'Don't pump gas on May 15th"
Neno, sorry for posting in this thread! but this is where we mostly come to read. Hope all is well with everyone. Hoping for the RV party SOOOOON!
Someone sent me this e-mail today. I am passing it along to all of you.
NO GAS...On May 15th 2007
Body: 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 companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and let's 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"

Let's start with the price impact of that alleged “gas out.” In the first week of April 1997, the average price of a gallon of gasoline nationwide was $1.248. By the end of the month, the weekly average was $1.24. If there was a one-day drop of 30 cents a gallon, it doesn’t show up in the statistics compiled by the Department of Energy U.S. All Grades All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices (Cents per Gallon).
VIRUS WARNING: By the way, this same email has been spammed acrossed networks several times over the last couple years, and often came with a nice little virus to brighten up everyone's day.
The only solution to the ever increasing gas prices, is to reduce demand on a permanent basis. That means we will have to carpool more, drive hybrid vehicles, stop wars around the world, and hope that Mother Nature calms down a little with the devastating hurricanes. Sorry there is no short term fix for gas prices. I don't think we will ever see the price drop below an average of $2.50 p/gallon for the foreseable future.Last edited by Caviar Dreams; 09-05-2007 at 04:24 AM.

Sorry...Myth/Urban Legend
Please click the following link. It sounds good, but it's just not a sound theory. This urban myth has been circulated quite a few times. Please do a search on the internet for GAS Boycott.
