Re:DO NOT BUY GAS MAY 19, 2004 !!
I busted out the redline last week. Been using it for trips
to the post office and to get my 32's of low life. 2.45-2.50 for 91 in vegas. I graduated h.s in 99 and gas was like 1.40 for premium. This is just insane, 3.00 bucks by end of summer.

Remember this from 2000? A convoy of 300 trucks drove into Washington DC and protested diesel taxes. It seems to have worked for them.
Maybe we should plan a HMT barbeque on Capital Hill

Re:DO NOT BUY GAS MAY 19, 2004 !!
I remembered something about these before.
If you didn't buy gas for one day, or one week, what would you do? You would buy gas the day before or the week before, so you could have the gas. Which means that the oil companies would still be paid.
What should be done is for everyone to avoid a certain company. The oil companies sell the oil and there are something like three major suppliers.. or some small number. I am not counting the gas stations, because they each add their own special ingredients to the gasoline. So, everyone should avoid a supplier, like BP, if everyone did not buy BP gas, then they would lower their prices. All the other companies would have to lower their prices to compete for business. This could help this gasoline crisis.
If not... lets just nuke em'
