Gas Out 2007 Tuesday May 15

Do you drive a car, ride a moped/motorcycle, or even mow the grass?

Then chances are you use gasoline in some part of your life. With gas prices steadily increasing all the time, and no end in sight, what is a person to do? The United States alone uses 360 Million gallons of gasoline each day. Every day the gas companies gain billions upon billions, and as they do this, they increase gas prices for teh average consumer.

It has led some people to go "gas hunting", finding the cheapest gas in the area and making sure to get there to get gasoline before the prices go back up. This mad rush for cheap prices has left people in a rush over something that should be a given in such a large part of the world.

Gas prices average about $3.15/gallon right now, with some places reaching as high as $3.25/gallon. While last week the average was a meager $2.89. The gas hikes come and go, but with the large increases($0.25 or more), we normally only see a $0.04-$0.07 decrease in the cost per gallon, leaving us with $0.18 more than we had, all the while keeping us content with the gas price decrasing a little.

The gas prices have gotten out of hand. It has been decided, by many, that there will be a "Gas Out" May 15th, 2007. The entire United States online community is invited to join. If all goes as planned, the oil companies will lose around $3 Billion(yes billion) in sales that day alone.

But why stop there? One day will only last for just that, one day. It is proposed here on GasOut2007.com that we, in fact, hold a gas out for 2 days, May 15th & 16th. Causing twice the damage. And why limit it to only the online people of the states? Tell everyone, your friends, family, and co-workers. Your fed up with battling the gas prices, and now is your time to stand against it, right alongside the rest of the US.

In 1997 a Gas Out was implemented. Causing nearly $3 Billion in sale losses to the oil companies. Overnight, gas prices dropped a drastic $0.30/gallon.

We would like to re-enact that boycott, and bring it to new heights. If 75% of US citizens boycott gas on the 15th and 16th, oil companies could lose up to $10 Billion in revenue those two days alone!

Your tired of the prices, I'm tired of the prices, and the rest of the US is tired of the prices. The time has come for us to stand together and show what we, the average US citizens, can do. Without us, the oil companies have nothing, it's time to show them that they work for us, not the other way around.
