Dont Pump Gas on May 15th

ye, a few people have told me about that...i just recently read/saw a video on that new Ferrari that made a trip from south america to US....and it made it through tough times with as low as 70 something octane gas, some kind of new fuel management system they have that can take low octane fuel.

now that is interesting. Where did you see this about the ferrari? I would like to read it.

Okay, not reading much of the thread....this is just my personal take.

When Katrina hit, gas prices went up nationwide because the hurricane hit some refineries or something like that. Here in Tulsa, the prices spiked an insane amount.

What i don't get...Oklahoma is a huge oil producing state. We have some of the cheapest gas because we produce it ourselves...pretty much all domestic fuel. We even have our own refineries...one not more then 10 miles from my house. So why the hell did my gas spike nearly a dollar when my fuel supply was not effected...at all.

My first guess was that our oil was getting moved to other states to even it out....but from what local agencies have said, very little fuel was transferred to other areas, so little that it should not have made a single penny difference in price.

Oil companies are evil.

It is a bunch of BS. Just like gas started going down AFTER they shut a part of the pipeline down in Alaska. WTF ? Less gas produced but cheaper prices. It is crap. And buying for one day won't do anything really, because everyone will fill up day before. We need to not buy gas for 3 straight days. That would put a hurting on a few of them. car pool and drive your economic car. Not to mention we only imprt like 20% of our oil.

well i got a V8 i mean i love my car but sometimes i wish i had a diffrent car cause of its a gas guzzler.

the rush on gasoline the day before will drive the cost up; the day no one buys gas will drive the cost back down and the entire thing will be a wash.
The only way to really bring the cost of gas down is to impeach president bush.

Not a very good solution if you ask me. Impeach Bush, we get Cheney. Now of course, the excitement will stop Cheney's heart cold, so he will be the shortest reigning president in history, but then we would be stuck with Pelosi! One extreme to another. We need a nice happy medium, like me.
