Default Boycot Fuel Week!!

Need to arrange a massive nationwide fuel strike aginst the oil companys....

If it burns fuel then let it sit this means Boats, Trains, Planes,
Forklifts, Etc!!!!

Lets bring it to a halt for a week..... bet that would grab some attention.

Yeah, then they will think about not producing fuel.

Who's attention? What would it achieve? What changes would be made because
of it?

Are you going to support me and my family, because I did not show up and
work, and got fired? How about all of all the other people that supported
your idea?

Seriously, that is the dumbest idea you have ever had.

Such similar ideas as not buying fuel for a week, if you did continue to
drive, would only offset the purchase of fuel to the next week.

It reminds me of a 3 year old that sits in the corner and says he is going
to hold his breath, until he gets what he wants.

So gas up your cars (in fact buy some extra) before hand so you dont'
run out. Then afterwards take your boat, train, planes down to the
station and fill them up. Yep, you may be right; buying 2 weeks of gas
on week 1 vs buying gas on week 1 and 2 will certainly show them.

One week matters zero and will attract zero attention. If you really want to
"grab their attention", figure out how to use less gas on a daily basis. For
starters, trash your gas hog, and rearrange your life and your behaviour so that
you spend less time behind the wheel. Of course, there are the old tricks from
the days when cars were rare and expensive; carpool, use public transportation,
live near where you work, walk, ride a bike, get a motorscooter, etc.

You probably already are flying less.

Yea, I heard gas prices dropped $2/gal after the gas companies found
out about it. Oh no, wait that was an Algore movie.

That's the rub. You are soooooo correct!

Of course, if everyone parked the car for every trip that could
truthfully be done by foot, bicycle, or mass-transit, so there wasn't
any pre or post stocking up... Personally, I enjoy cycling to work and
local errands.

I have neighbors who maneuver the mini-van to the mailbox, to avoid a 60
foot walk. G
