Stop Sending Those “Don’t Buy Gas” Emails
The first (and most obvious) reason is you are simply delaying the purchase of the gasoline you need; we’re not actually decreasing the demand for gas (which might bring the prices down), we’re just shifting the demand to another day in the very near future.
I have forwarded similar emails in the past; it just makes sense that the big fuel companies would notice if everyone stopped buying gas on one day. In fact, they probably won't. They KNOW we're gonna need their product again very soon. Until America decreases its reliance on foreign fossil fuels we'll always be essentially at the mercy of big oil. I don't see myself changing my driving habits any time soon, do you?
