>> The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't

>>
>> 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 $2.43 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 market
>> place....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 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.
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE
>>
>> $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
>>
>> THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
