This email has been making the rounds.
This works for me!!!!!!!...........................
Join the resistance!!!!
We are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. Do you want
gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united
action.
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 ofan
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. It is currently $1.97 for regular unleaded.
Now that ! the oil companies and the OPEC nat ions 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 the 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 o! ther companies will have to follow suit.
************************************************** *****************
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally million! s of Exxon
and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, 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.
! 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 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
This all sounds great and fine, but from my understanding exxon and mobil asides from selling gas retail, are also one of the biggest importers of petroleum products and actually wholesale to the smaller gas retailers. So couldnt they just raise wholesale prices to the smaller co.'s and in turn raise pump prices even higher ?. Resistance is futile, we are the powers that be.
