Will the May 15 Gas Boycott Really Work?

By: Lisa Brence

Updated: May 14, 2007

You may have heard about the campaign to get oil companies attention, by not buying gas on May 15, but will it work? The Urban Legend Reference Web site Snopes.com says dont count on it, and University of Arkansas Economist Kathy Deck agrees. She says its a hoax, and if people dont buy it on May 15, theyll just buy it the next day, so the oil companies wont be affected at all.
