i see Americans here everyweekend .... buying Cigs, Beer and gas : : Gasoline Prices : This makes more sense than the don't buy gas on a : certain day routine that : was going around in April or May. 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, we : 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 42 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.
: PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO $1.28 : -- $1.29 AND KEEP THEM : DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK !!!!
: : Hmmm.. that gas-out day thing was lame, we'd have to not buy gas for like 2 weeks to make an impact on the total boycot. Whoever started this one paid attention to how a free market works. Now could this one work? Yeah, but again it's not likely. At least it's better then the last one. : Something to think about. I automatically don't buy from either, so it's easy for me to bandwagon on this one. I'm way tired of $1.85 premium for the turbo car. :-(
