IMO, a don't buy gas day would have absolutely no impact. Everyone would simply load up the day before and the day after. The overall consumption for the month would go unchanged. If you want to put the squeeze on them, start getting frugal with your fuel consumption.
As for Chavez, he's a Mussolini wanna be. Just look to his ties to Iran and his repeated sabre rattling. The sad part is that letting him cut off U.S. oil won't have an impact on his economy since his oil will be sold on the open market then resold to us. If he want to play this game then we can easily rattle up the pressure with other economic games, but it's a game we must be careful at playing. Give him enough rope and let him hang himself, don't usher him to the gallows or we will look like the antigonists to much of the world.
Muttling,
One of the claims of oil companies, is that tight supply periods are responsible the super high prices.
As they sat in the congressional hearings with "Cheshire Cat" smiles on their fat faces,the oil execs would shrug their shoulders and raise their hands and say,
"Hey,when supply drops,prices go up"."That`s economics 101,we`re just innocent millionaires,we can`t help it when "shit happens".lol Whoops, more money!!!
The thinking goes that if we softened the squeeze,even by a little,the "pipe line" will back fill and reserves will grow.
This could lower prices by lowering the demand.
To hijack a little....
How about an Apollo space project style national effort,to lower our dependence on foreign energy sources?
Like Carter purposed almost 30 years ago,including a national solar bank hooked into the nation`s grid,super efficient cars/trucks/trains/buses/heating systems and jets.
We should have a solar panel on every south-western facing roof in America, and fuck OPEC.
