Re: [BLUG] Gas & the 15th

Did that really make a difference in 1997? They may drop the price 35 cents for good will but it will just go back up after a few days.  After all, you're not really depriving them of business by not filling up on the 15, you're just delaying that business until the 16th when the gas companies will see a record number of people filling up their tanks.  Which means higher demand and justification for them raising the prices back up.  It doesn't seem to add up to anyone buying less gas, which is what is fundamentally required to hurt business.... or am I missing something?

Lets try it and find out what happens
