Yep. Along those lines, there is an event on Facebook called National "No- Fill Up Day". So instead of buying gas on Saturday, they'll just buy it Friday or Sunday. A lady even commented to do exact that. What's funny is that most people only fill up every week or two. So there was a 1/7 to 1/14 chance that they were going to fill up tomorrow anyway.
The overall consumption will stay the same unless they do something to actually reduce their own consumption, not just change the day they buy it.
