Truth to tell, though, I don't know if it'll have much of an impact: the oil companies know they have us over a barrel, so to speak... :(
cool. plz spread this amongst you co-workers. i guess this would include that witchy-"boss" of yours. but then you can have SOMEONE ELSE talk to her about it so you don't have to. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I'm supposed to buy 91 as well, but I bought 89 for $2.27 last Friday... Ugh. Fortunately, I only live five miles away from work...

My office mate probably racks up 100+ miles a day: He drives from Newbury Park to Torrance and back. Driving a big-ass Chevy truck. :(

Gotta drive to where the jobs are. :(

If you guys have ever seen Die Hard (1988), there's one scene near the beginning of the movie when the street cop Al (Reginald Veljohnson) walks out of a AM/PM and looks up at the Nakatomi building... As the camera pans up, you see a sign with the price of Regular gas: 78 cents. :( :shakehead: :sweat: :(

That was probably one of the best quotes in the whole movie. :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

The van looking like a dog was hillarious. I mean, that's up there with those "spinners" and 20+ inch rims. :hehe:

DON'T BUY GAS ON MAY 19TH
-----

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.

AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES.

THEREFORE MAY 19TH HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT UP THEIR behind " DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF GASOLINE THAT DAY.

THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.

WAITING ON THIS ADMIINSTRATION TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?

REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF GASOLINE GOING UP BUT AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH EFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING MATERIALS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY, WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE MAY 19TH A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"!
