Suck on this Exxon-Mobil!!
This seem plausible . . . 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 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 AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
Its a hoax email.
Snope it.
Yawn! Zot.
IBTZ!
aw geez! not this sh!t again!
it won't work. it can't work.don't waste my time.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAa...yeah, whatever, commie.
Back to the USSR for you.
IBTZ!!!!!!!1
IBTZ!!!
suck on a Zot..
Won't work!!! The oil companies put supply in the system, at a price, and when it is taken out by anyone, that price is paid. Of course the input guys put it in to be taken out by themselves, but if they don't sell it, it is taken out by another and the price is paid. These guys dont retire at 400 million because they are dumb. Additives? Added after removed from the system. Most gas sold in Texas is Conoco Phillips, regardless of what the brand name is. Sorry!!!
I have a business opportunity for you. Come to my house at 7:00 tomorrow night...I can't tell you what it is..
Oh yeah newbie, many of the weaker elitist here will post IBTZ. That mean "I Be The Zit" They think they are above everyone else and are too important to be bothered by the little people. Liberals do not have the corner on elitist!!!
Why stop at a measly 300 million. Keep on multiplying by 10's. Soon, we'll have the whole friggin' galaxy on our side!
Yay, team!
The mods must be really quick this morning...
