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 reac h l iterally 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 a m 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 th is 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.
