In in. I only buy a tank about every three weeks so I'll probably not being buy on that day anyway.

1 US gallon = 3.78541178 litres
$4 per gallon = $1.0567703 per litre

It's well over $1.50 USD per litre where I live in Australia. Boo-hoo.

It's 1.15 a litre here in Manitoba. I really don't complain because here in Manitoba it is actually comparatively low compared to all the other provinces, except the territories because many native americans own gas stations and they get tax breaks so getting gas from them is really cheap. My family always went to a native american owned station when we went up to Clear Lake (mid Manitoba) just because how cheap it was in comparison.

I only fill up every 2 weeks (at the very least) because I bus to school so the prices hardly affect me anyways, and come summer I often walk or bike places.

Pffft. Try $10 a gallon....

Try no gas, all grid. Or solar. Or any number of things which are infinitely cheaper once they are implemented. Or walking, that was a good one.

Ha! My area's been staying below $4 still

I filled up for $3.65 last week and was on cloud nine the entire weekend because of it

Its only around 3.25 ish here. glad my truck takes the cheapest gas....

My car only takes premium(called 98E5 around here) or Shell V-power (99E5) and those types of fuel cost rather much right now.

Last time I filled my tank up it was 1,66€/Liter so it would be around 6,28€ a gallon which is around 8,73 in yankee dublons. :goodjob:

Then once you buy a electric car you'll be the electric companies pet slave for life.


It works if your going to stay in your small community or if your rich.

Gonna tell you a story that my uncle likes to tell.....(every time I see him. Please understand that old folks tell stories over and over not because they forget that they have told it to you, but because they want you to actually remember them.)

Back in the 1960's he used to work at McDonell-Douglas in Texas. There was a guy they used to work with who had just bought a Volkswagon Beetle. He was constantly raving over how good the gas mileage was. Everybody else was driving gas guzzling Detroit models back then, Buicks, Chryslers, Fords and other popular 'Land Yachts" of the day.....of course gasoline was probably 30 cents a gallon.
"Why, it gets xx_mpg!".....He went on and on about it, and someone thought of a funny prank to pull on him. Somebody would go out in the parking lot and put a gallon or two of gas in the 'Bug' every day or so.....He would come back and say "Wow, you guys, you wouldn't believe it, I've driven for days and the needle hasn't even moved on the gauge! This thing is really great!" Of course everybody know what was going on so it made his bragging hilarious. When they stopped doing it, it was like, "Well fellas, I don't know what happened, I was getting really, really good gas mileage, then something happened" and thought he might have to take it back to the dealer or something....or so the story goes.

Its effectiveness depends on its intent:

In itself, it achieves little, at best. As a way to raise awareness... well, we're talking about it, aren't we? :shrug:


Even here in Melbourne its >$1.40/l ($5.30/US gallon, I think).

EDIT: That's $5.33US. svck on THAT, you weak-dollared 'mericans!

ive seen one for march 14th. when i need gas......i need gas so i dont care what day it is. i learned awhile back that E does not mean Enough.

Who do you think sponsors those government elitists?

If they're worried about "gas" companies, rather than being stuck at home for a day, take public transport forever.

I should perhaps adjust that with "or ride a bike." I know people who ride thirty-plus miles per day in gridlock for work commute. They do it in China more than not. I know it isn't everyone's cup o' tea, but it doesn't restrict you to a small community to seek mode of transportation that don't use fossil fuels.

It would be nice if everyone could organize and not buy gas on that one day.

I need to get a bike. I feel like a loser because I don't have one.

neither do i. but i have a truck so that makes up for it. though, id rather ride a bike... its more fun.

Riding bikes/skateboarding/walking/rollerblading is in nowadays. But if you gotta drive you gotta drive. Luckily I live in a big city, so, riding a bike is in. Theres nothing more cool than not having to buy gas and staying/keeping fit/active at the same time.

I hope the govt here doesnt hand out more licences for more oil companies to start producing gas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eZ6i2cUA24, here in Canadia.

... :rofl:

"we wont do anything for a day, imagine what else we can do" 1 day is nothing, how pathetic.
Thwey should either commit fully (much longer than a day) or not at all.

I'll be doing more for "the cause" than a great percentage of these ideologues.

I DON'T GO ANYWHERE !

[EDIT] The grocery store. Woo Hoo !

Tell that to Mubarak (Sorry for a slightly political comment.)

LOL you're talking an average of roughly $9 a gallon in Britain at the moment. You guys have it easy :tongue:

True, but there's a difference between public rioting and a bunch of Hipsters sitting in Starbucks with daddies trust fund going 'Yeah, that'll show those corporate pigs. We're protesting them on Facebook for like, one whole day man.' -swishes scarf-

I've got to hand it to god, eliminating flatulence for an entire day was a really nice thing to do. If all goes well, April 15th may become one of my favorite holidays. I am gonna eat so many beans. :celebration:

Hmm, should I read the first post before I... nah it'll be fine
