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.
