Here's what your own Chicago news stated"

Chances are the plan is more fantasy than feasible. Variations of the gas boycott e-mail have circulated annually since 1999, according to rumor-debunking Web site snopes.com.

But with Will County's gas prices hovering around $3 a gallon -- 21 cents higher compared to last year, according to AAA-Chicago Motor Club -- hope for some control springs eternal.

"I think in theory it may have some effect. But in reality or practice it would have little or no effect at all," said Jason Toews, co-founder of gasbuddy.com, a gas price-tracking site that allows visitors to post and compare local gas prices.

Fact is some radio or TV news station somewhere resurrects this story every year. And every year it goes no where. Thats all i was saying.

People can do whatever they want but when a story hits the news it means we should pay close attention to the content. In this case the content states that the idea came from a chain letter and in reality or practice it would have little or no effect at all," said Jason Toews, co-founder of gasbuddy.com
