GAS prices
Apr 16, 2005 9:37 AM Subject: Silly Gas Prices Body: I doubt this will work, but I don't want to be the guy that DIDN'T help haha
Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit
close to $3.00 a
gallon by the summer and it might go higher!!
Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take
some intelligent, united action.
Phillip 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 rreally 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 $2.09 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
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
messagereaches 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.
That's all. (If
you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and
all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... Well,
let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I
am ... so trust me on this one.)
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this
e-mail 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
