People are idiots.

What's the deal with this whole "Don't Buy Gas on May 15th" thing? Why are people such sheep when it comes to things like this? It's been done many times before and it's NEVER WORKED. People drive automobiles. Automobiles require gas. It doesn't matter if you buy gas today or next Thursday, you're still going to buy the gas because you need it. So who cares if a million people don't pump gas on the 15th? That means they're all filling up the day before or the day after, so the companies aren't losing anything!! To really make any tiny difference at all, you'd have to get everyone to stop buying gas from one particular vendor so that they would lower their prices slightly. Good lord, if I worked at a gas company I'd be laughing my butt off at these morons sending around this e-mail and making facebook and myspace groups.
