gas war
Got this from another forum
This sure looks like something we should do. Let's do
it! we would all need to do it though.
GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work
This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola
executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies
who retired from Halliburton. It ' s worth your
consideration.
Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit
close to $4.00 a gallon by next 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 really work. Please read on and join
with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline
priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is
currently $2.79 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 wimp out at this point....
keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to
reach millions of people.
I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us
sends it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ...
and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10
=3D 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message
reaches the sixth group 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. I
suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY
LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM
DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
On a separate note...i dont think this will work personally, but it is worth a try. WHen was the last time you saw an Exxon gas station near where we lived? I'm sure none of you fill up with their gas anyways, but notify your friends and relatives in other states that do!
Driving around town yesterday and today i couldnt find a gas station that sold gas for under 3.00. Arco was at 2.99 and perhaps only costco was slightly below 3.00. And im talking REGULAR UNLEADED.
This sure looks like something we should do. Let's do
it! we would all need to do it though.
