how to bring the price of gas down

Published Apr. 25, 2008

We are all tired of the price of gas going up and up and up. My suggestion is that on May 1st, that for 24 hours NOBODY buy any gasoline or diesel fuel. If the major oil companies go 24 hours and sell NO fuel, they will be forced to lower the prices for fear that we(the consumers) will do this on a regular basis. 

This will only work  IF EVERYBODY participates.

Greyhound_girl. thanks. I'll have to break down and look at that one. I'm not much of a fan of Craigslist and such sites. but in these hard times I'm gonna have to start looking deeper for better deals I guess. :(

Cragsdale...Craigslist has lots of 2 wheelers...

If you want to get the fuel prices down - a simple consumer can't because they have to go to work and return.

If the major trucking companines would park...... JB Hunt, Shneider, Triple A, Triple C, Convenent, Werner, etc. then the price of fuel would decline because 90% of the commodities would not be delivered - that includes food and dry goods. A consumer would not make a dent - and everyone just like Steve said will go and fill up the next day.

We will not do it as a country because we are all displaced with our own agenda - but if we all got into a food recession - and started having hunger pains....... restaurants could not get delivery and the grocery, alot of these items are time sensitive (produce) then the gov. would have to step in and take some element of control.

One day won't have any effect. I heard a guy on the radio say there is some type of effort to declare our independance from high gas prizes by not buying any gas on the "week" of July 4th. I guess it could be done, I don't know what it would actually do, but I thought it was intersting.

I'm seeking an affordable 2-wheeler. below 3k in price. Not in the market for a new bike, but something relatively unbattered.

..and I carpool on rainy days, when I don't ride.

Switch to 2 wheels or 2 feet for a week...that will make a difference. I'm saving about $30 per week by riding a motorcycle.

So carpooling is the deal? Anyone coming from Cary going downtown Raleigh? I'll offer a ride if folks will help with gas...then we can split cost!

Yea smart idea!! Do people really think no buying gas for one day will hurt oil companies? Has anyone seen or read that we are actually using less oil now than we did last year and still the price of oil goes up? It is not for lack of oil but the money grubbers of Wall Street who are driving the cost of oil higher and higher.

The only way to cut gas prices is to reduce consumption. See this blog to see ways to get lower prices: http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/2675046/
