I'm actually wondering why people say it won't work? I say if everyone is to stop saying that, there might be a difference. Slight as it may be, there will still be a difference. Those who don't care, so be it, life goes on as per normal. But hey! There will be some amount of people who would actually pledged as such. Accumulative, I'm sure there will still be a difference. That is if the mail spread fast and as widely as possible. Small harmless ripples, when accumulated, could become a tsunami!

Your overall consumption of oil doesnt change. U just stopped for that day and switched it to 25 or 23rd...<br /> <br /> And prices in other countries aint quite our problem to begin with. Dun expect people in Bangladesh to pay Singapore rates. Our economic strength is different.<br /> <br /> Its also due to their own domestic demand and supply anyway. Booming developing economies always have energy shortage.<br /> <br /> And if it really made an overall loss for companies, U just screwed a few more companies and the price will just go up more.<br /> More retrenchment too.<br /> And u just damaged economies.<br /> <br /> Look at Europe. All they do is boycott and go on strike.

Thats very unlikely. And so what even it really happens? They pile up and the next day everyone rushes to get their petrol and they earn back every cent (eg: loses 4.6billion one day, earn an additional 4.6billion another). Worst comes to worst, since the stock piling is hurting their profit, they can easily go on another price increase to cover this lost.
