Massive and un-restrained title change was necessary

so one of my clerks told me not to buy gasoline on may 15th (today) because it would force the retailers to lower their prices. she even tried to tell me that it worked in 1999, and that gas prices went down 30 cents.

where? who lowered them? why don't more people know about this?

because it never worked. I looked it up, in depth. I even found a site that SAID gasoline went down "X cents," (there were several numbers quoted) but no one had a source.

the suggestion I've heard is "buy the gasoline you need the day before or the day after, but don't buy it on the 15th."

well, what the hell is that going to accomplish? you're still buying gas. Does anyone else get this!? if you want to effect the price of a product, try NOT BUYING IT AT ALL!

If any of you CAN'T figure out why this wouldn't work, please go kill yourself. This is a prime example of how lazy america is.


you know what would really work? try filling your fucking tank UP with gas regularly. Instead of buying 5 dollars every day, try filling up once a week. THAT will save you money, and here's why:

You won't have to waste gas to get to the gas station every day (unless you also waste money buying single sticks, in which case you'll be at the gas station anyway)

Gasoline won't evaporate in your gas tank as easily (because your tank is more regularly full, instead of always on empty)

Your car might be more fuel effecient- especially the old kind of cars that start to choke and sputter when the tank is low. furthermore, your car might stay in somewhat of a decent shape. then you won't leak oil all over the parking lot.
