Gas Protest on May 15th
---DON'T PUMP ON THE 15TH---
There's been many emails and bulletins whizzing around the internet for the past month about a strike against the US's dependence on foreign oil and the wars in the Middle East due to the dependency.
So basically, forr those of you who haven't heard about it: Don't pump gas on May 15th. It's estimated that up to 2.5-3 BILLION dollars will be lost by the oil industry from just one day of non-use.
I think it will be rather interesting how far the price will drop the week after this big strike. Apparently in 1997 the price went down 30 cents in one night after a gas-strike.
Let's give it to the ol industry and help te environment for atleast one day.

This does not seem like the right section for this stuff.
When I first saw the title of this post, I thought it said "Gay protest"... which made it even weirder with the "Don't pump on the 15th" thing. Errrr.... yeah. Nevermind.
yah, i wasn't exactly sure this was a "News" topic, but it's nation-wide, so i guess so (??)
Well, it is kinda 'news'... not like most stuff in here, but it still fits :)
but we're not all americans, you know.
I'd say about 80% of the people who visit here are from america... and it's just one news thingy about a protest, no harm done, right? :)
LOL! i thought exactly the same thing. I was like the 15th ... i dont wanna pump on any day of the month.
There's an article on this on snopes.com.
