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.
