Has anyone heard of this.

LOL, americans complaining about gas prices - check out Britains.
"The average price of gasoline in Britain was $5.38 a gallon, a bargain compared with the Netherlands, where it was $5.69 a gallon. In Germany it was $5.01. The French got away with paying $4.78. "

How long is the average commute in Britain?

My college is 45min away, my father has to commute for close to an hour to get into DC during rush.

I bet if you look at price and quantity, there are an awful lot of products that over the years have increased price way more than oil.

BTW....everyone not buying gas on one day and then buying gas the next will cause more problems than you know. Anyone recall the power outage we had in the Northeast last year? For just one day, no one could buy gas coz none of the pumps worked. The next day, there were gas lines around the block, causing blockage at intersections and driveways....people cutting in line and getting into fights.....

These "Gas Out Days" make no difference at all.

But those were people who didn\'t plan their gas buying.  People going and buying gas today to not buy gas tomorrow won\'t cause those lines.

Really it won\'t cause a damn thing.

i can feel myself getting stupider reading this post.  One day of boycotting fuel??? I\'ve got a better idea- Everyone step outside at 8:00am  EST, and read this out loud:  Im Sofa King We Tad Ed.  That\'l really stick it to the man!

Boo-freakin\'-hoo...

New Yorkers are paying $2.25 for regular...

It hasn\'t even reached 2 bucks in some places where I live. You need to know where to get gas too. There\'s a Gulf station a bit out of the way that is usually pretty cheap (last I think was 1.75 when others were like 1.90. Its at 1.99 on main road areas and high traffic areas). I\'d boycott middle eastern oil but don\'t know what are American (I know Hess but there isn\'t a Hess station anywhere near me.) Can someone post a list of stations that are not middle eastern?

Well it wasnt my idea, and it\'s not like I was calling everyone out to do it.  I was more curious really if anyone had read about the boycotting.  My threads will never be that enlightening, but in this case I had to see how everyone else would recieve this news.

I live in the city so good luck to me on finding anything less than $2.25...

And someone did post a list of oil companies that don\'t use Middle Eastern oil...

I think it was one of the old guys...
