It won't work Country... It has been done time and time again on the internet... Basically everyone not purchase gas on a given day... I don't think it's even noticed by the big companies...

It's the oil speculators and futures traders getting fat off of us not the oil companies. Return on investment for oil companies is about 7 to 8 %. Contrast this with Credit card companies that have ROI of about 30-35%. Sure a profit of 30 billion dollars sounds huge but they had to spend half a trillion dollars to do it.

And 4$/gallon when my truck towing a tank gets 10mpg is going to mean ramon noodles for lunch to be able to play where I want. Two months of Ramon noodles will pay for the gas to get to PBC (640 miles round trip) this November. See you there

Have to ask yourself, How badly do you want to play?

Interglacials are short and then we enter the nasty brutishness of the glacial periods.

We calculated that Dave moving the Half-Track for us will cost about .$60 per mile (pased upon $3 per gallon price) and that's just the cost of gas. At $4 per gallon, our cost will be approaching $1 per mile.
If you want to see it, you'll need to come to BearClaw.

The funny thing is there is no reason for the price to be up, or even this high.
The sad thing is nobody does anything about it.
