This idea is not going to do one damn thing to hit the oil industry in the pocketbook. If you gas up before or after the dates for the gas-out, they still get their money and that is ALL they care about.

A better way would be to organize locally with car-pools and/or alternative means of transportation.This MIGHT seriously affect profits enough to make them take notice,but to fill up before or after does nothing!

Europeans who have never been to America simply have no concept of the distances involved in doing most things here. A car is somewhat of a necessity. While I agree that alternative transport should be used whenever possible, a great deal of the time it is either not available or not practical.

By the bye, a cursory search reveals no gas-out on Apr.30 '99 and I don't remember one. Could someone with greater research skills than mine look into this please?
