アメリカ人の弁護士をしている友人から、下記のようなメールが回ってきました。「不幸の手紙」ではないようです。
要するに、ガソリン代高騰に抗議するため、みんなで５月１５日はガソリンを入れにいくのを控えましょう！というボイコット運動みたいです。目的は、日に日に値上げするガソリン代を少しでも下げることです。
車社会に住む私達にとっては、ガソリン代だけは家計から外すことはできないですからね。みなさんのご協力をお願いします。
NO GAS...On May 15th 2007
Body: Don't pump gas on May 15th
Body: ...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all Internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the Internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If you agree (which I can’t see why you wouldn’t) resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"

This doesn't work because everyone needs gas. Therefore the oil companies would just get their money back the following day. The best way to cause them to lose money is to target 1 company at a time. For instance, if everyone stopped going to Mobil gas stations then Mobil would suffer huge losses. People would still be able to get gas from other companies because they would have to but Mobil would get nothing. That's the only way be effective.

みなさん、↑これって参加しましたか？
ちょっと時間が経過してしまいましたが、この日以降、15~20 cents程、ガソリン価格が下がりました（ハリウッド界隈です）
1997年の時と状況は似てるようです。
また近いうちに（2ヶ月後？）にもあるようなので、次回は、参加されては如何でしょうか？
>Q-san,
>This doesn't work because everyone needs gas.
But it did indeed. If you've been watching the gas prices after this event, you've seen it dropped 15~20 cents ( in Holywood ).
It all depends on demand vs. supply balance as always.
> The best way to cause them to lose money is to target 1 company at a time.
Sorry to know you're just missing the point.
Did you try it anyway?

Fortunately I didn't need to get gas anyway but none the less, gas prices didn't drop in my area. (San Pedro) I still think it would be better to just target 1 major company because it would be a long term sustained drop in income for that company. That would really hurt them.
Look at it this way. Say you own an ice cream store and your neighbor owns another ice cream store across the street. As long as your prices are equal you will both get about the same ammount of business. Eventually both of your prices get so high that people get pissed off, but they still want ice cream. So they all plan to just go to your neighbors store and your business realy drops. You still have to pay your bills. What do you do to get your customers back??? I'll let you answer that one.
