NOOOOOOOOOOO! The only two ways to make gas prices go down is to reduce the demand or increase the supply. In the long run. Short run demand decrease = nothing except lost profits for a day. And like someone said, they will just make it back the next day. And it has to be on a national scale. Global would be better, because then the oil companies couldn't just move where their supply goes. Seriously, I failed economics, this is not hard. If you dont buy gas one day, what happens? You are going to have to buy it the next day anyway. Not buying gas on one day does not reduce the demand. Carpooling, buying more efficient vehicles, driving conservatively, walking when you can, etc. these are the things that will make demand and thus prices go down.
