I think this gas station boycott day will finally do the trick

by Rick Wheat

 

 

 

 

You know what? We’ve tried to bring down fuel prices in the past without success, but I think Friday’s gas station boycott has what it takes to make oil companies realize they aren’t being cool charging so much for gas.

 

They have a bunch of money already, right? So I think it’s pretty unnecessary for them to profit excessively just because we can’t get by without gas. That’s what is so brilliant about this gas boycott day. See, we all have to make sure we fill up with gas before Friday so we won’t have to fill up on Friday. I feel this is the level of coordination previous attempts have lacked. If we all do that, just image the scene when nobody shows up to fill their tanks all day.

 

You know those oil companies will be just freaking because they’ll think we’re totally done driving in life. Or even better, they will see all our cars still on the road and the president of Shell or something would be like, ‘Whoa! I think everyone is using a different kind of fuel. Hey other oil executive dudes, we better lower our way high prices.’

 

And if anyone asks you should be all like, ‘Yeah, don’t you know about the new propane adapter?’ Then there will probably be a rush on propane, which is cool. After all, why not throw those propane companies a bone. They aren’t the ones gouging us by the fuel tank.

 

But the key is we all need to not go to gas stations. Like, I guess hitting up some 32oz. fountain drink deals is cool, but make sure you don’t tell them what’s going on. We’re all counting on this. Forward that email again to everyone just to make sure. This is going to be great, guys.
