Face it... they've got you by the you know whats, and they know it.

Exactly.

As long as we keep driving the amount that we do, they keep moving the same amount of product; they'll just sell more on the 13th and 14th (to the people who top off to make sure they've got enough to get through the 15th and then on the 16th and 17th to the people who're now running on fumes and need to fill up again. All we'd be doing is moving one days sales to the days immediately before and after it.


Hell, they big oil companies wouldn't even notice a blip in their bottom lines because they sell their gasoline to distributors who sell it to gas stations who then sell it to you.
