Something I heard on the radio the other day was a commercial for SHELL gasoline. In a NUT-SHELL it says they drove several cars for 5,000 miles each on different types of gasoline and then tore the engines down to see which had the least amount of crap in it. Upon hearing this I thought well gee... who do you think paid for that little experiment? DUH!
5,000 miles adds up to ALOT of gasoline. If the oil companies aren't concerned about this type of spending I don't think that they'll care about us not buying their crappy gas for a day. They have us over a barrel and they like it that way.
I buy the least expensive gas I can find and it's usually RaceTrac or the like.
In support of the May 15th gas out I won't purchase any gas either. Do I think the oil companies care? HELL NO. Is it worth a shot? HELL YES.
Let's not talk about the price of corn and what thats done to milk prices and several other food related items.

The oil companies do not make unreasonable profits. Nor do they control oil prices.

I''ll try to remember to buy extra gas on the 15th, just to show what I think of this sort of nonsense.

But by all means, everyone else cut back your gasoline purchases. More for me.
