Gas price control

[pat ford]

 you are aware that the lost profits from that one day protest will be made up for the next day? You are also aware that $1.58 a gallon is cheap by world standards ( I just paid $.76 a litre or ~$3.42 a gallon for plain gas). the only way to get cheap gas is to nuke opec and take the gas. anyone got a big red button???

What do you think team, can the power of the internet and
controlling where $$$ are spent change a huge economic situation?

    This makes more sense than the don't buy gas 
    on a certain day routine that was going around in 
    April or May. Gasoline Prices! Whoever started 
    this has a good point. 
     
    By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced 
    at about $1.49 is cheap. Me too! As it is now 
    $1.58 for regular unleaded. 

     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 less than $1.50, we need to try an aggressive 
    response. 

    With the price of gasoline going up more each day, 
    consumers need to take action. The only way we 
    are going to see the price of gas come down is if 
    we don't buy it. But, that's not really a practical 
    option since we all have come to rely on our cars. 
    But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act 
    together. 
     
    Here's the idea - 
    For the rest of this year, don't purchase gasoline 
    from the two biggest companies (which now are one), 
    EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling, they 
    should be inclined to reduce their prices-and if 
    they reduce their prices the other companies will too. 
     
    But to have an impact, we need to reach literally 
    millions of users. But it's doable! 
     
    I am sending this note to 37 people. If each of 
    you send it to at least 10 more ...and those 10 
    send it to at least 10 more ... and so on by the 
    time the message reaches the sixth iteration we will have 
    reached over one million consumers. Acting together we 
    can make a difference. 

    If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on, 
    or one you compose, to at least 10 more E-mail addresses.
