Howdy folks. It’s that time of year when your friends, or in our case, readers, encourage you to boycott gasoline for 24 hours on a specific day.
For some reason, we’re not sure why, people think this will affect fuel prices. Uh. No. So before you forward that email, take a look at these links from Snopes.com. And if you want to save money on gasoline… buy a hybrid. Or a bike. Or take the bus. Or walk. Or take a train. Or skateboard. Or unicycle. Whatever. —MEGHANN MARCO

“BOYCOTT” is the only option left for us to fight against this crazy gas prices, unless the government involve and regulate the gas price somehow!
The obvious solution is to build cars with antimatter reactors. 100,000 miles per milligram. Unfortunately, due to low supply that milligram will run $300 billion but if we boycott physicists the price will undoubtedly come down.
