File under, “useless thread.”
Why?
Would lack of purchase of gas on Thursdays limit the consumption of gasoline or inhibit the offset purchases on Fridays?
No.
Meaningless gesture.
And, foolish, as gas prices are generally at their lowest on Thursday mornings.
Just my thoughts.
useless.
How many times do we have to debunk this drivel?
Thoroughly debunked as a concept every single time gas prices go up.
If a goodly percentage of the population started buying exactly 4 gallons a pop it would get a little crowded at the station BUT it would send a strong message that folks are starting to band together on this issue.
Sigh.
Yeah, Gas stations will go bankrupt if you fill up on Wednesday or Friday instead.
Here is a message for them: Let us all fill our gas tanks on a specific day. That way my 457, Roth, and pension will increase!
It would be far more useful to boycott driving on Thursday and not make up the miles on other days. At least that would reduce national gasoline usage.

“Don’t buy gas on Thursday.”
And one other thing.
Google “Miserable Failure”
And post a thread on the results when you do.
We’re all anxiously awaiting the results.
How about this:
Instead of filling up your tank any time this week, you can sent the $75.00 you would normally spend on gas to Trumandogz.
That will show the Evil OPEC that you are serious and will not pay the current price for gas.
What is this boycott going to accomplish? What are the goals? How will boycotting achieve those goals?
Do you think gas companies are making too much money? How much do you think they should make?
Do you think they should increase the supply? How can they do that if they can't drill? Who prevent6s the building of modern refineries?
It seems to me that when the price of gas goes up, I drive less. I'm probably going to get a scooter to use for much of my transportation. How is this materially different from a boycott?
I have a better idea. Get a job in the oil & gas industry and start enjoying those big fat honking bonuses!
If you are certain gas prices are going to go up, you have several options:
Buy extra gas and store it in a big tank on your property.
Invest money in oil futures and oil companies. If it is a sure thing, get a piece of the pie and have the profit offset any increase in price.
Convert your savings to precious metals or foreign currency. As the dollar shrinks on the world market, it takes more dollars to buy the same amount of gas even when global prices are stable.
None of this is financial advice, do your own research as to what is a good option. But there are actions you can take that don’t require “sending them a message” that they have to lower prices.
What can we do to get OPEC to lower prices? Give them Israel?
Who needs only one tank to get though the week?
My 90 mile round trip to work everyday does not fit in one tank a gas a week.
