With high cost of diesel, let's park our trucks

I like to know if most of us would be willing to park our trucks and our RV for two months. I realise that many of you can't do such a thing because you depend on you trucks in your business or transportation to and from work. I can do it because I'm semi retired and I have an economical car to drive. If 50% of us can do such a thing for two months, what impact would it do to the oil companies. If a lot of you think this idea had merit, we can talk to the dieselstop.com and whatever Chevy web site. We can pick a starting date and pass the word on. Big problem is that a lot of Dodge/Cummins owners don't belong to TDR and we can't ask the Dealers for help in spreading the word because they are in business to sell trucks. Grizzly
