Better then not buying Gas

just read it on another web site...
Obviously everyones got there ideas, just thought this would be a good one...



TAKE A LOOK IT WON'T COST YOU ANYTHING!



Everyone should know that I don't forward this kind of stuff, but I really

Like this idea. The only comment I would add it this..... Do you think the

oil companies were making fat cash when the price of gas was $1.50 per

gallon? You bet your a__s. From my business experience, price isn't

determined by what the product costs to produce, it is determined by what

the market will bear..... and currently our market is bearing $2.50+ per

Gallon. With no action the cost will only go up. For those of you who were

with me in Kuwait, have you seen more Mercedes, Porsches, Ferrari's, BMW's,

Etc. any where else? Not even in LA.





Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united

action. Philip Hollsworth, offered this good idea: This makes MUCH MORE

SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going

around last April or May!

The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't

continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an

inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of

this idea has come up with a plan that can really work.

Please read it and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super

cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.75 for regular unleaded in my town.

Now

that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think

that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50-$1.75, we need to take

aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace....not

sellers.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take

action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we

hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And we can do

that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't

just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act

together to force a price war. Here's the idea: For the rest of this year,

DON"T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are

one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be

inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other

companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and

Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, don't whimp (sic) out on

me at this point... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach

millions of people!! I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each

of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it

to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) .. and so on, by the time the

message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over

THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this

on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If

it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION

PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people and DON"T purchase ANY

gasoline from EXXON and MOBIL. That's all.



How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten

more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could

conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't think

you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a

difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.

PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP

THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK

Some jackass sent everyone the same thing at college. I told him we should go drill in Alaska. I wish I still had my email response, it was quite funny, I sent it to the entire campus and got laughs for weeks

Just follow a fuel tanker. Bastards go from one station to the next. Not from Mobil to Mobil or Exxon to Exxon. It's a huge conspiracy. My .02
