Default Gas price demonstration..

May 15th apparantly..not sure how widespread this is but just got it off another American forum. People are being asked to spread the word and not fill up on that day.
Would it even make the slightest bit of difference as people will just fill up the day before or the day after?

Yep I heard yesterday on TV that something like that was being organised. I agree can't see what difference it will make.

They should do what they did in the UK, send all the truckers around Washington DC and cause gridlock. Even if it doesn't work at least they'll have pissed off a few senators.
