Taking a day off of buying fuel is like not going to the supermarket for a day. 'They' know you need the gas just as 'they' know you need the fuel. Your actions will be suitable for Jay Leno's act of going out on the street and interviewing the stupid and ignorant.

And gasoline is not a waste product if millions of machines are built just to consume it. If you were going to argue that point about 110 years ago you might have had a point. Standard Oil grew great way before it was selling gasoline. It grew still greater afterwards.

In fact, the production of plastics does not utilize nearly as much of oil as the portions used for gasoline (automotive) diesel (trains and trucking) and kerosene (air travel).

If enough of you purchased subarus instead of Hummers and used a bicycle to get groceries once a week and USED LESS GAS, then you would have an effect on the price. Otherwise it's a joke.
