Re: Worth a shot!: THE GREAT "GAS OUT"

This will only make a difference if you change driving habits (e.g.
don't drive) for a day not just shifting your purchases ahead or back a
day. Kind of like buying toilet paper, your total use doesn't change
that much over time, unless you make some fundamental changes (sorry, I
couldn't think of a better example).

It is not like quitting smoking for a day, where it can make a
difference in demand, because you won't make up the difference the days
before and after (unless you feel you need to stock up or recover).

If the total demand for gas doesn't change, there will be only minor
local fluctuations at best.
