This does absolutely nothing to "take money out of the oil companies' pockets."  If one fills up the day before or the day after, they still get their money.  If one wants to actually make an impact, then stay home and don't drive anywhere for a day.  If you're driving as normal on May 15, then you're using gas as normal.  Doesn't make one whit of difference what day you buy it.

HI all, got this from one of my brothers.  I'm going to do this have thought
I'd pass it on.  I do know it is for real also as it's also going around My
Space as well.

My kids are going to boycott too.  Very hard on them as well and they are
mad so are going to support the boycott.

You can plan to buy gas the day or so before or after.  Just not on that
day.

hope there will be support enought to make a statement.

Sorry Off topic, but in a way not.  Affects going to rides too, and RM's
loose $$ if we can't get there.

Hope nobody minds this...
