I'm laughing at you all. Honestly.
Not to sound like a jerk, really. If 1 third of all Americans(which would be an impossibly large number) actualy did not buy gas on sunday, it would have no effect whatsoever on prices. Prices are set on market lines. Which go from the stock market down to your local BP station. Its a game, that you will not win. We are mass consumers and we will suck on the oil companies **** until it runs dry. So go ahead, don't buy gas on sunday. Petro-chemicals are used to make so many things your mind could barely concieve. If you buy sneakers, you just paid the oil companies. It goes on and on. This would be an excercise in futility.

As a group, Americans would do better to hold their elected officials responsible for getting our economy straight. At this time in our country, oil is our economy.

To put it in more simple terms. It would require 'most' Americans to follow suite in this ill-concieved plan for it to even be noticed by the filthy rich ***** that decide how much you pay to fill up your car. How many people here really honestly think any more then just a sliver of the population would even consider this??

It's supply and demand that sets gas prices folks..not the mythical manipulators. Otherwise, why would we not have been paying three bucks a gallon years ago?

And the powers that be set the supply levels. So whatcha sayin? Theres no mythology at work here, only simple math. Supply and demand is the myth. Demand is always high, the supply is always plentiful. Its a matter of production levels set by the oil companies to regulate the price index.

What this question? Who the **** do you think I am? The one genius in the world that can figure out the oil companies market manipulation? If I was I wouldn't be here right now bickering with you. I be buried next to Jimmy Hoffa in some yet undisclosed location for having figured out the great gas scheme.

I'll tell ya what I do know. I know that even years ago the price of gas would go up before I got my paycheck on friday, thus forcing me to pay more when I have money then when I don't. I know that the price of gas spikes everytime a holiday rolls around. I know that the oil companies see the demand about to rise by X amount, therefor they raise production by X amount, therefor raising the price by X amount. They raise production even though they are sitting on umpteen billion gallons of crude. They call it supply and demand, I call it BULLSHIT!!!!

So when you figure it all out, holler, i'd like to know.

I'm sorry you are seriously deluded. Given an inelastic demand curve, gas would have been $3 a gallon years ago under your scenario.

Sorry, the fact is gasoline prices, up until the last surge, has over the last 40 years seriously trailed the inflation rate. If someone has been manipulating prices we ought to thank them.

It's illogical. Refusing to buy gasoline on one particular day of the month won't affect the oil companies' overall sales or profits. Why not? Because everyone who skips buying gasoline on September 3 will be filling their tanks on the 4th, or the 5th, or the 6th of September. An effective boycott would require that a significant number of people consume less fuel on an ongoing basis, not just avoid purchasing it on one particular day of the year.

Plus, the 3rd is past so I guess it's moot... :rolleyes:
