here's an article on exactly why a boycott is stupid
I showed that to people at work when I found it. Some of them still did their little, "Sure". But the expression on their face said they didn't understand.

I swear I've received this email EVERY year for the past 3 or 4 years. And the same people continue to forward them.

Common sense: Some have it, some don't.

I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that chev has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. JSWALK.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from JSWALK.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at JSWALK.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. JSWALK.COM

Can we ban him yet? I mean comon.... hell let me do it PLEASE PLEASE PURDY PLEASE!!!???! I'd be an ownage mod...

Yeah I totally thought the boycott was a foolish plot. But I guess if they were just trying to send a message to the gas companies and trying to crash their daily routine it will make more sense. But they don't know they are just fucking themselves up in the long run... sigh hippies with internet.

You guys in the US don't know how good you've got it with petrol prices!!
You should check out the prices here in Australia, AUD$1.50 (US$1.20) a litre!! Which is still cheap compared to HK and the UK.

So, you pay $4.60/gallon and folks in California pay $4.30/gallon...
Why do we have it "so good with petrol prices"?

I remember in 1999, it used to be <$1/gallon (in Florida though, and that is for a 91-93 octane...)

$4.30 is not a reality in CA unless it's the only gas station in MILES

I live in the bay area and haven't seen gas over $4.00 yet

3.80 for premium yes, but $4.oo, not yet.

lie? I don't understand why people are so aggressive over the internet and talk down to others. Since you came in this thread you've done nothing but talk down. There are other ways to say things. You sound like a total noob.

I guess Dallas news showing $4.18 last night was a rare thing in SFO?

I was there 2-3 weeks ago and saw $3.74 for prem at most stations

there's always one station in most areas that's the "expensive station" because it's right off the freeway, or it's the only one in the area

maybe that was the "expensive station"

I recall a gas station on highway 1 in the big sur area that was $3.50 for premium and that was 5 years ago. (only station for MILES, literaly 15-30 miles each way at least with no gas)

Not getting gas on the 15th will not hurt the oil companies’ pockets, because they will be selling the same quantity of gas. What it will do is make a point that people can unite and it proves that everyone is fed up with the high prices. Moreover, maybe that message would make them think even a little. I think it's worth a try.

You can always hedge gasoline prices...I use to trade full time. Buy gasoline (or oil) options and make money while the prices are going up. You can also hedge with ticker OIH or USO or just join them and get some XOM. It will more than make up the inflated pump costs.

I can talk Supply and Demand theory all day, but the money the oil companies are making is ridiculous boarding on law suit ready.

I follow oil almost daily and prices are actually heading a little lower, if that is any consolation.
In fact USO (US Oil) is near its 3 month low, I just checked. The funny thing is that OIH which is the Oil Services sector, is near its 3 month high. Those Bastards!!

not many folks know what hedge is. I am not sure I can explain it but the best definition I heard is like buying home insurance. It protects you. So if you hedge gasoline, you are protecting yourself by buying insurance on a "put" or "get". If gas price sore, you are golden, if gas price fall, you are still protected.

I wish I can hedge (or have balls of steel) to hedge.
