If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that’s almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies pockets ...


... and would put $1,146,000,000 (average) into the oil companies pockets on each of April 14 and April 16.

Go virtue-signal somewhere else.

BTW, $2,292,000,000 is “barely 2 BILLION”, not “nearly 3 BILLION”

A meaningless stunt.
Participants will either fill-up
the day before or the day after.

Let’s do it! Forward to others.
Don’t buy gas on April 15, 2022.

Oil companies? How about Biden’s energy policy. You’re punishing the wrong people.

I’m already not going for a couple of months.

The Tactical Reserve is still quite full.

So, you believe the current prices are due to the oil companies?

What will work is getting rid of these commies in charge. It’s going to be a long haul here folks and the there’s no guarantee of success.

Christiana Dillard, as most women and many men, doesn’t understand economics. Prices are set by the supply and demand of the market, so the focus of protest should be on Biden and his choking the oil supply which has driven prices up.

Prices are the EFFECT of Biden’s supply shortage and we are the victims. Christiana’s idea is like shooting yourself in the foot.

LOL!

OK, I will fill up the 14th! That OK?

How about this. You get your California friends to demand Pig Face Bidet open up all oil production to the levels they were before he destroyed the production.

How is that?

Do that on April 15th.

So we’ve decided to blame BIG OIL instead of Jo Jo and his little environmental Swedish meatball wannabes for the high gasoline prices? This scheme appears to be letting Jo Jo the Pedophile Clown and his “democracy” chimpanzees off the hook. What is the connection between tax day and BIG OIL? April 15th is the day the government celebrates, not Big OIL.

This ‘boycott’ e-mail and FB posting pops up every ten years or so. Didn’t help then, won’t help now.

Drill, Baby! DRILL! :)

Why hurt the oil companies? They didn’t do this.

A better plan would be for everyone not pay taxes.

Why would we want to take money out of the oil companies’ pockets.

What are you? A socialist?

Oil companies are price takers and not price makers.

If you want to try to understand look a the fundamentals here:

And the futures traders greed. They are the modern day equivalents of money changers in the temple.

Claiming it is the fault of the oil producer just shows ignorance.

Lower your gas price at the pump by doing this one little trick. As seen on Dr. Oz.

Try this stunt with electricity first, let us know how it goes. Use NO electricity of any kind for a day. No batteries, no EV, no lights, no heating or cooling, nothing.

This nonsense, I guess, is what passes for knowledge of economics these days.
