OT: Gas Boycott & TIPS!

We've heard of gas boycotts before, and it doesn't always work. But it's worth a try again and this time with a twist! Please pass this on to others. The more people that participate the better. Tell your neighbors, friends, family, co-workers, etc. Spread the word. Remind them of this on Sat & Sun in case they forget! DO NOT BUY GASOLINE SATURDAY, 9/10, AND SUNDAY, 9/11. 1) Boycotting one day is one thing, but two days in a row is more powerful. If we spread the word to as many people as possible and if people REMEMBER not to buy gas on these two days, it will make a WORLD of difference! 2) Do what you can to use LESS gas. Use ONE car instead of two. It may mean getting to work earlier or staying a bit later waiting for your ride, but it'll save you $$$ at the pump! 3) Do not use your truck, SUV or van if you have an economical car to use instead. Most people do not need to drive their big SUV's to work. It's not like you are driving on rough terrain or going up moutains. If you drive on pavement to work, use a compact car or carpool. 4) Do not plan any roadtrips this month. 5) Drive the speed limit. The faster you drive, the more fuel burns. So what if someone passes you. They'll pay for their speed at the pump. Stick to the speed limit. 6) Avoid quick starts and sudden stops. Don't "try to make the red light" or "zoom" off when it turns green. Doing either of those wastes gas. 7) Keep tires properly inflated. This simple, common-sense step is often overlooked. Poorly inflated tires makes engine use more gas because they are working harder. 8) Clean out your trunk. The lighter the load in your vehicle the better. Don't get crazy though and remove the spare tire. DO NOT BUY GASOLINE SATURDAY, 9/10, AND SUNDAY, 9/11. DO NOT BUY GASOLINE SATURDAY, 9/10, AND SUNDAY, 9/11.
