Dont pump gas on may 15th!

#1 Postby JonathanBelles » Wed Apr 25, 2007 7:21 pm

This is a myspace message going around:

[hr]

DONT PUMP GAS ON MAY 15TH

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 myspace members are asked 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 MySpace network, and the average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.

If all myspace members did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,200,000,000.00 (that's 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 cant see why you wouldnt) repost this bulletin repost it with: "DON'T PUMP GAS ON MAY 15TH!"

REPOST!REPOST!REPOST!REPOST!REPOST!REPOST!REPOST!



[hr]

I will not be pumping gas on May 15th!

Will not solve anything, same thing has gone around every year for several years. Next.

All you are going to do is buy that gas earlier or later...

Actaully you will be harming the owners of the gas stations themselves. They prepay for the gas they recieve from what i understand.
