Noone's pumping gas today? Outstanding!!! I didn't want to have to wait for a pump this morning.

Seriously, wanna do damage? If we develop habits that proactively lower our dependency on gasoline, we'd send them under. Someone driving a Yukon can go without topping off this morning and feel as if they have done their part in hurting the "evil" oil companies. As for me, I'm filling up my little Corolla. They're going to make it back up tomorrow, folks... Just fill up today and pass by the scooter shop and give it a thought lol.

By all means, if it makes you feel better to water a fake plant...

Joey, it's not a matter of beating the oil companies...that won't happen.

I would love to see how many people could ban together under a common idea...

I am pumping gas today if need be. Honestly, if my gas tank is almost empty, I will fill. I do not have an option of riding a bike or walking to work, unless I want to pass heavy traffic about... eight times. If gas is needed, it is needed.

Either way, I doubt I will need to fill up today anyways.

Guys... It is just for who feels cheated by the gas prices, Don't do it if you do not want to.... It is just for those who do want to do it and try to prove a point...

Well you know we all have our opinion right? So the ones that are in the "Gas Out" more power to us and those who are not more power to them. Simple as that..... Hey anyhting is fair to try to beat these crazy prices....

Those people that will gas out are probably those that

1. Don't even have a car
2. Won't go out today
3. Those that filled prior to today and have a nice tank of gas in their car

Well, I do have to say I really like the enthusiasm. I think it would be great if we all banded together, and let them know, at least in principle, that despite their ability to [seemingly] gouge prices, it is THEY who rely on US for their profits. I guess my only reason for saying this isn't a good idea is because we are pretty much at their beck and call, and when this whole standoff is over, they could just as well raise the prices even higher over the next few weeks/months in response to this, and they have a lot more lawyers and assets to spend to *justify* their position.

See the sign? DON'T FEED THE BEARS!!! lol

Today is about symbolism. It's not a real solution to the problem. Still, I'm joining in the symbolic effort.

I'm also shopping for a more fuel economical car - perhaps a hybrid.

(those of you who know me and my love-of-car personally know that's a big deal)
