I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer.
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 it and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.97 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 whimp 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 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 beencontacted! 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 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 I 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

I have neither the time nor patience to explain Oilfield Eco 101 to this poster. You care to do it?

This sounds like one of them there chain letters. .....All that's missing are the "testimonials" from folks who didn't send the lettter on and enountered all sorts of bad luck (as a direct consequence of their inaction, of course).

NONSENSE!

Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. (But I am .... so trust me on this one.)

You better stick to mathematics... you're not going to make it in economics.

Ya Ya I seen this passed around and I'll tell you like I told them. Jump down the troats of the national socialists democrats that blocked the opening of the vast reserves we have right in our back yard which resulted in us depending on those radical friends of these national socialist for our energy.

stop using so much and inventories will increase. BTW it isnt the oil companies this time it is OPEC and Environmentalism.

[Monty22]

I work at exxonmobil, and they pushed this out saying it's all false.

I, for one, don't buy it. Exxonmobil makes $6.6 billion a quarter profit. They are gouging.

You've been here for a year, and still don't know how FR works?

This is a REALLY lame post. I'll bet you don't reply to it....(taunt, taunt)

"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"


This wont work, Gasoline prices are determined by total supply and total demand. Boycotting two companies. wont change total supply or total demand.

If people car pooled, it would greatly reduce demand and supply inventories would build. Prices would fall quickly

Uh... why is this post under "Anthrax scare"?

[Cousin Eddie]

Moronic.

[mrsmith]

I scoff at chain email, but I agree we should get gas prises- or at least low priced toy gas tankers like they used to give as premiums. Texaco had an especially nice one.
Oh, and Green Stamps too!

Idiots all!! It is not the oil companies, there has not been a refinery built in the US since 1979, (in Garyville, LA by Marathon Oil Co., whom I am retired from) and it is next to impossible to even consider getting another one permitted. (Not near me you all yell)

The feds, states, cities and the enviro nazis currently demand dozens & dozens of different blends customized to suit every whim. There is not the refining capacity nor the pipelines to satisfy all these nutcase scenarios.

Refineries can only produce gasoline or fuel oil, but do not have the capacity to do both. The enviros have decimated the US oil industry, it fell apart in the late 80's. No new exploration or drilling is allowed, every attempt is thwarted by the ones who now scream the loudest.

The percentage of imported refined products continues to rise, just wait until we depend on OPEC for your gasoline & fuel oil. You think we have problems now, you ain't seen nothing yet.

The public demands no nuke power generation, they demand the coal fired plants be shut down, they demand that all power generation be from clean burning fuels (read natural gas) then the same freakos scream when the power generators use up the natural gas in competition with home owners for their heat. Guess what, there is X amount of NG, not XY & G amounts, there is not enough for both.

So make up your stupid minds what you want before running off on some Chicken Little fiasco crapola about punishing the oil companies, for you don't have a bloody clue as to the facts.

Big waste of time. SPAM email fodder.

It won't matter. We're going off the economic cliff in 3-13 years no matter what.
