What If???

It can only go so far until the public riots or strikes. If every one in the US didn't buy gas for one day think of how many millions the gas co. would loose and how panicked the government would be?

They would lose exactly $0, because the gas that no one bought on that one day will be eventually purchased the next day, or the day after that, etc. Towing and roadside assistance companies would love it when millions of people run out of gas, though. :icon_wink:

And then they will call in troops from another country to deal with the riots. See the site from another post'

They have projected sales and any dent in that projection hurts their bottom line. Besides, who would organize such a thing?
