lower gas prices - REVOLT!!

[c.d.iesel]

We'll show you a gas boycott!

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.

This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this 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!

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.

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 $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.08 at Arco and Costco for regular unleaded in Salem , Oregon and climbing every week.

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. Once you start don't fudge and get back to Exon and Mobile ....continue the boycott until the prices are finally down.

You have only the rights you are willing to fight for!

i'd be willing to do this, but there are no exxon or mobil stations in this part of the country. at least from what i've seen. mostly sinclair, shell, etc.

do you know what subsidiaries are under exxon and mobil including any grocery store gas?

prices in denver went from $2.89 to $3.15 in 2 days in my area. awesome.

Wow.

I've been helping out all along by only using Chevron fuel for the last 20 years.

I don't think it's helped.

I paid $3.95/gal for regular this morning. Super was at $4.15. I'd like to see $8 a gallon, IF it would get rid of most of the big SUV's on the road, AND the extra taxes went to transportation projects like they were supposed to do.

[roadhog0]

I buy at Arco, no exxon or Mobil out here...

[Armond]

cost me 42 bucks for 11 gallons of premium this morning. that's about 4.19 a gallon. Unbelievable!

[Scott Sislane]

I avoided buying from EXXON after their oil spill in '89, I avoided buying from MOBIL after EXXON bought them ('99?). I also avoid Citgo because of Chavez.

It's easy enough to do, plenty of stations to choose from!

Another thing to consider is that as gas gets more expensive demand drops. As demand drops supplies increase and the price goes down. The demand for electric and hybrid cars increases.In this round of gas increases $4.50 is supposed to be the magic number where we will see at least a 10% drop in miles driven...Letting the market control the -price...
