Fox New's Bill O'Reilly Calls for Sunday Boycott of Gas!!!

I feel that the fix is in on the gas prices. The refiners are finding out that 3.00 a gallon is where we stop using their products. In protest, I for one will not buy gas on Sunday.

This is stupid. Food and gas are basically the same...you're going to consume the same amount no matter what day you buy your groceries. Unless you go on a diet(downgrade to a VW bug from an SUV) this strike isn't going to do anything. The total consumption will be the same at the end of the week.

Like I said the price will come down on Monday. Just some simple supply side economics. I will buy gas when the price comes down on Monday. I was a little surprised that the plan to not buy gas on Sunday worked over the Labor Day Weekend. I mean he only announced the plan last night, but hey he is Mr. O and he's looking out for you!!

I am so pissed about gas prices I wish they wouldn't go so high. I was planning on getting a S2000 after graduating college but with gas the way it is, it's looking like a Golf tdi

Just quit buying gas, the price will come down. Oh yeah, I wish I could win the 170 million dollar lottery, then I would walk everywhere on my island. Come on wish big if you are gonna wish.
