Cut fuel sales to curb oil prices?

Yahoo!News reporting:

Yellow caution tape surrounded Pollack's six idle pumps for his protest, which drew dozens of drivers. One in a green minivan rolled down her window and shouted "Thank you!"


Maria McClory, 38, drove 10 miles out of her way to buy a diet soda from Pollack's station after seeing local television coverage of the protest.
"I just wanted to support them and thank them for making a statement," said McClory, who drives about 100 miles a day for work in her sport utility vehicle.


Other drivers were more skeptical.

That math don't add for me?

The protest came as several Wisconsin service stations announced they would no longer sell gas because they make little or no profit on it after they pay wholesalers, credit card fees and taxes. They said they would focus on auto repairs instead.

...sounds like the pendulum is turning the other way.

I think you're making a few points here, correctomundo? Poor - or is that dumb? - woman drives 10 miles out of her way (which is already 100 miles) in her SUV to say thank you to some dude protesting the price of gas. Did I read that right?

And for some reason it's the rising prices of gas that gets protested, and not the insane 'Merrikan consumption of said gasoline?
