Don't pump gas on May 15th!

CyberSmokeBlog was on a lengthy distribution list to which the following was sent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spread the word! .... I'm doing it! .... The oil companies should not get away with raping the public like they are .... Canada and the United States are the only 2 country’s affected buy huge gas hikes.

Why is it that no other country is experiencing this? NO GAS on May 15th 2007 .... and mark your calendar so you do not forget this important date. Don't pump gas on May 15th!

In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a litre overnight. On May 15th 2007, all internet users are not to go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $1.29 a litre in Canada or $3.00 a gallon in the United States.

There are 73,000,000+ American and Canadian members currently on the internet network and the average car takes about 50 to 70 dollars to fill up. If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000 (that's almost $3 billion) out of the oil companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day. If you agree (which I can’t see why you wouldn't) resend this to your contact list with the title, "Don't pump gas on May 15th."
