haha, give up the monster trucks eh? i find myself chuckling when we go down the street to save 2 pennies per gallon...to save what, maybe 30 cents?
i get these stupid texts as well about banning gas for a day...never makes any sense to me...so we hold off one day, their sales drop...next day their sales skyrocket?
Yeah, the people who write those emails assume that gas prices work on supply and demand, and it just simply doesn't work that way.
Because oil prices are tied to the dollar and there is a major commodities trade for oil it more depends on the US and global economy. Keep the economies healthy and the price of oil will stay lower. If anyone wants to know what will help more than taking a "day off of gas", go buy some stuff at your local mall... spend money on goods and services, thus helping the economy, which will raise the value of the dollar and help more in the long run.
