Try to stay home for one day or ride/walk to the grocery store that day. Better than any gasout day.

If you give up driving that day, I guess you won't be buying gas then either. It would be a gasout by default.

You could have a more significant impact if you fill up your car's tank on May 15th. Significant impact that is, if you then proceed to drive off without paying.



Not that I'm advocating any such thing. But surely it would have an impact. Somehow.

The US imports over a million barrels of oil & petroleum products every dayfrom each of it's top 4 suppliers..and then a lot more..
From where? Check out the Feb. 2007 import list below.
http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html

As Matt & others say, not buying gas for one day has absolutely no effect on anything..

I'd like to "joint" in. Personally, I prefer the bong but a joint works too. Will this "gas out day" idea never die?

I doubt it. Is Bill O'Really promoting it this year? I know he's done so in the past.
