What changes would be made because of it? Are you going to support me and my family, because I did not show up and work, and got fired? How about all of all the other people that supported your idea? Seriously, that is the dumbest idea you have ever had. Such similar ideas as not buying fuel for a week, if you did continue to drive, would only offset the purchase of fuel to the next week. It reminds me of a 3 year old that sits in the corner and says he is going to hold his breath, until he gets what he wants. -- Jim in NC |

Then afterwards take your boat, train, planes down to the station and fill them up. Yep, you may be right; buying 2 weeks of gas on week 1 vs buying gas on week 1 and 2 will certainly show them. |

"NW_Pilot" wrote in message . .. bet that would grab some attention. One week matters zero and will attract zero attention. If you really want to "grab their attention", figure out how to use less gas on a daily basis. For starters, trash your gas hog, and rearrange your life and your behaviour so that you spend less time behind the wheel. Of course, there are the old tricks from the days when cars were rare and expensive; carpool, use public transportation, live near where you work, walk, ride a bike, get a motorscooter, etc. You probably already are flying less.

Of course, if everyone parked the car for every trip that could truthfully be done by foot, bicycle, or mass-transit, so there wasn't any pre or post stocking up... Personally, I enjoy cycling to work and local errands. I have neighbors who maneuver the mini-van to the mailbox, to avoid a 60 foot walk. G |
