How About Actually Using Less Gas?

Email chain letters and The Myspace groups organized yesterday as a "buy no gas day" in hopes of sending a message to oil companies.  I guess the goal is to back up supply lines one day and show that we can eff up some plans if we want to.  But everyone would just buy that gas the next day, so its not really a big deal.  Not to mention that Americans can't really boycott gas for a day.  Buzzfeed links to Break the Chain, a snopes for chain emails, that lays out the failed "no gas days" that have been attempted since 1999.  Attempted and failed.  I'm not buying gas today, but that's just cause I filled up on Sunday.

In more important news, I didn't receive a single email about this.  Awesome.
