War on Gasoline GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work

Gasoline is supposed to surpass $4.00 gallon on average in the US by next summer. I honestly wouldnt be suprised if it were higher than that.
Forget about the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that some people have thought up. The oil companies just laugh 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 (and i buy 93 octance) 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 (that's not cheap btw, they'd still be making a killing), we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..... not sellers. 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! If I tell 30 people about his, and they each tell 10 other people, thats 300. if each of those 300 people tell 10 people, that's 3000. That's alot of people to hear about something so quickly. 3000 people telling 10 others each is already 30,000, then 300,000, then yes, 3,000,000. Conceivably, this could all be done within the next week.

The fact is, if you really do join with us and do this, and tell other people about it, we can seriously achieve our goal. Are you up for it?











BTW: I'm seriously going to do this. I mean seriously, how hard is it to go to a different gas station rather than exxon and mobile? I can do that, even for a few sense more, because in the long run i know i could be paying more than a dollar less a gallon.
