22 September 2005: Buy No Gas Day (8)

1 Name: 2005-09-11 12:31 ID:Heaven

Interestingly, I've only heard this from word of mouth. On Thursday the 22nd of September 2005, motorists have created a day where they have decided not to fill up their cars, in a protest to oil companies who are becoming right idiots at the moment and jacking up prices through the roof.

How about we cause a big messy stink about it ourselves, people of 4-ch: Don't buy any gas for your car or any other petrochemicals. Screw the oil companies, give us back lower fuel prices. We're sick of paying too much.

Cool as this would be, I don't have a car.

Not that I like snopes very much, but it says that it's pretty much false. http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/nogas.asp

No car, no bus, no tram... nothing.

What's the point when everybody will be back the 23rd to fill'er up?

I assume, since you don't mention it, that this is for the US. Just a reminder: gas in the US is still vastly cheaper than the rest of the Western world.
