If you are sick of rising gas prices, then consider this:
In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, let's do it again and not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in many places.
To give some perspective as to how this could impact things, consider these facts:
1. There are 73,000,000+ American members currently active on forums and networking sites like MySpace, Xanga, Facebook, and the like.
2. The average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.
If all of those members did not go to the pump on May 15th 2007, it would take $2,200,000,000.00 (that's BILLION) out of the oil companys pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
