God, people believe fucking ignorant crap.  If you still drive, you still 
use the gas, and buying it the day before or the day after means the dollars 
are just shuffled from one day to the other.  Christ this is pre-school 
economics!   If people don't park the cars for one extra day, not buying the 
gas on a particular day doesn't make any difference, except attendants get 
to play cards for a day.  Of course, if enough people fall for this shit, 
the rest of us will get quick service at the pumps.
