My husband has said to do this, butunfortunately, not everyone will do it. We need EVERYONE tojust not get gas on a given day. Just one day. Itjust jumped to 3.19 here today:shock:.

But won't filling up on the 14th make up for losses on the 15th?

I'm not sure how effective this will be if people will be purchasing the same amount of fuel - just not on the 15th.

Not that we're not feeling the pinch my husband drives 150 miles round-trip to work daily.
