>>
>>
>> ...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, all internet users are asked not to go to a gas
>> station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $4.00 a gallon
>> in most places.
>>
>>   There are 73,000,000 persons  currently on the internet, and the
>> average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
>>
>> If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
>> $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 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.
