OT - GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work.

[Guest guest]

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 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 30 people. If each of us 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 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!

[Dave:] This might work, I dunno though. I’ve been buying Citgo gas at

7-11. Why? That’s Venezuela’s state oil company. They were the only

company to help out poor Americans who couldn’t afford oil for heating or

fuel, while Exxon and Mobil and plenty of others raked in record profits.

There’s one small way an individual can make a difference with his head and

his wallet. I understand why our president doesn’t like Hugo Chavez, the

president of Venezuela, but it’s not a political thing to me. I simply

think virtue should be rewarded, and buttheads should be butted out of the

marketplace. I like doing business with nice people, it’s as simple as

that.
