I don't feel bad for people that drive suv's. Why? They KNOW that Suv's are gas guzzlers. Suv's for the most part aren't cheap. If they can afford to pay for an Suv or a TANK then they can afford to pay for gas.

Ah, sorry if I restated the obvious. Depending on who's hosting the image file, my work I.S. blocks them out. I couldn't see your graph.

im just taking a hunch, but im sure our politicians pockets are lined with money from big oil. all the gov't will do is slap their hand and say: "bad, exxon, very very bad..."

You're right John, I am a college student. I know there is no economic purpose to a one-day gas boycott. The idea is that there is a large contingent of people standing up together and saying "Hey, this gas thing sucks." Just letting them know we're not completely oblivious, you know? A good friend e-mailed this to me and he doesn't e-mail anything, so I figured it was legit. A quick search online showed it everywhere. I thought... what better place to put it?

No problem Charles, we still good.

I read an article a week ago about a guy who formed this organization called F.U.E.L (Fed Up Energy League). His idea sounds similar to what's being discussed in this thread. Check out the web site (www.angryatthepump.org). I'm skeptical of it actually working as many of you are but I'm willing to give it a try. I thought it was better than a single day gas boycott. They're looking for members and it's free to join.
