Gas boycott?

[John Murray <mrmurray@looksmart.com>]

I received one of those chain e-mails today and it claims that a one-day gas boycott last year drove down the price of gas.  Anyone know anything about this?  Anyone think it might work?  Here's the e-mail:

Subject: 	Gas Prices...

Write these days on your calendar...
  
  Anytime we can stick it to them it's a good day.  Last year on April 30,
  1999, a gas out was staged across Canada and the U.S. to bring the price
  of gas down, and it worked. It's time to do something about it again.

  This time, lets make it for three days instead of just one. The oil cartel
  decided to slow production to drive up gasoline prices.  Let's see how
  many Canadian\American people we can get to ban together for a three day
  period in April, NOT TO BUY ANY GASOLINE, during those three days. LET'S
  HAVE A GAS OUT!

  Do not buy any gasoline from APRIL 7, 2000, THROUGH APRIL 9, 2000.
  Buy what you need before the dates listed above, or after, but try not to
  buy any during the GAS OUT. If you want to help, just send this to
  everyone you know and ask them to do the same.

  We brought the prices down once before, and we can do it again!  Come on
  North America lets stand together.

  WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  Even if you receive this 100 times keep passing it around, this way you
  know everyone is being informed and no one will forget!!!!!!!!
