Hundreds of Myspace users including me trying to get others to not pump gas for one day... en-us http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/sarahsvela/7429 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/sarahsvela/7429 <p>As we all know gas prices keep going up.&nbsp; I feel like I have been missing out on so much do to these high gas prices and I only leave my house if I have doctors appointments for my family and me, and even so try to get&nbsp;everyone's appointments the same day as to not be back and forth to the doctor's office during the week.&nbsp; Also if we need groceries or need to go to work.&nbsp; Important stuff.&nbsp; Trips to the mall and park are out of the question for right now.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm a regular Myspace user and alot of my friends and their friends are posting bulletins about NOT pumping gas for one day.&nbsp; Which May 15, 2008 was the day chosen.&nbsp; I don't know why this day.&nbsp; </p> <p>The bulletin says that in April 1997, there was a &quot;gas out&quot; conducted Nationwide in protest of gas prices.&nbsp; Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon over night.&nbsp; </p> <p>Gas right now is over $3.00 a gallon at most places.&nbsp; Which, on average, it would take 30-50 dollars to fill up a tank.&nbsp; </p> <p>The bulletin is basically asking all internet users not to go to a Gas station or pump gas for this ONE day in protest of high gas prices.&nbsp; Costing oil companies billions of dollars and also putting a dent in Middle Eastern oil industries.</p> <p>Note: this bulletin has been passed and reposted x amount of times on the internet.&nbsp; Which honestly isn't a bad idea at all!&nbsp; Me and everyone I know is all up for this protest!&nbsp; I just thought I'd bring this to our locals here in Victoria for those who aren't internet users.&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
