[Hidden-tech] approach to lowering gas prices

[Edbride-PR]

First, picking one day to stop gas purchasing was the most lame suggestion
I'd ever heard, unless those same people didn't even drive on that day.
Otherwise, it would only have the result of backing-up lines the next
day...on which perhaps prices would suddenly be raised a few cents.
 ;-)
Targetting one or two companies makes more sense, but given the public's
bent for convenience, there would need to be a huge boycott, such that
stations all over the country complained to Exxon or Mobil's headquarters
about pricing. I'm not a behaviorist, but I wouldn't put much stock in this.
It's a movement without result, challenging the laws of physics.
