Everyone needs to boycott buying from Exxon and Mobile. Gas prices would fall then.

I actually just received this today too. While it seems like it would make sense, I don't think it's enough to actually hurt the companies permanently. Unless someone can tell me actual statistics and facts to back this boycott up, I will buy gas on May 19 on purpose, just to spite that stupid ass email.

my mom got that email yesterday actually... i haven't received it myself.

i will probably NOT buy gas on the 19th... but only because it will more than likely fall on a day when i'm not driving around on 'E'

so i got my tax return today.. and it was nicely hefty.. and now my gas tank is completely full.

no, i will not be buying gas tomorrow.. but what the fuck does it matter because i filled the thing to the brim today.

it will make no difference. you will buy the gas sooner or later.

So you don't have to shop around...yet can still know that you're getting the best of it.

That's funny. I didn't even think about it, and I bought gas today.

nice call dude, not to mention even if a nationwide boycott were to take place for a day, it wouldn't make a substancial change
