Addicted to OIL ! !
Oil and one of its byproducts, gasoline, is a COMMODITY. Its value is controlled worldwide by good ole SUPPLY & DEMAND. (Economics 101) If this idea had even a modicum of success . . . EXXON and MOBILE would have an OVERSUPPLY and just sell this OVERSUPPLY of gasoline to the other refiners since they would have an incredible increase in customers and would need to fill this new increased DEMAND.
Its a ZERO SUM GAME.
The only way to effect the pricing in this SUPPLY and DEMAND game is to either INCREASE THE SUPPLY (drilling in Anwar and Offshore, convincing OPEC to pump more, etc.)
OR
USE LESS (smaller more efficient internal combustion engines, solar, wind, nuclear, ethanol, and all the hybrids of those, and more exotic and unconventional fuels).
Incidentally, Snopes.com agrees with me. snopes.com: Gas Out
