Can I get a show of hands of anyone who has gotten the email/myspace bulletin telling you not to buy gas on May 15th?

Can I get a show of hands of anyone who thinks this is going to make the oil companies lower gas prices?

For serious.

Is there anyone on the planet who really thinks that they're doing something good by topping off his or her tank on the 14th or the 16th instead?

Where is the logic?

Maybe some people need a chart to understand it, but if you hold off on getting gas for 24 hours, you're not actually conserving ANY.

If you want to help out with the fossil fuel situation, carpool, take a bus, ride a bike, buy a fucking Prius, support companies who are working on alternative fuel sources, but in the name of all that is good and holy in this world, stop forwarding those self-righteous emails that are the equivalent of a fucking magnetic yellow ribbon telling me that the terrorists have already won if I happen to need gas next Tuesday.
