Here's Snopes' take on the "don't buy gas" idea:

Well if everyone didn't go and fill up the day before and whatever, it would have to be coupled with less vehicle use. National don't-use-your-car-at-all-day would be better though, I suppose.
I wrote this on the assumption that it was some sort of show of environmental solidarity or whatever, but it seems that, according to the other posters, it's meant as an economic blow to the oil companies, which is pretty funny.
