    lower gas prices THIS COULD WORK!!

    This can work.


    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 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. (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.
    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.

    Searh button, we have already discussed the un-informed, ineffective theory behind this idea. Not to blame you for posting it, but whoever sent it needs to look at the oil industry and realize you may boycott stations.. but not the companies themselves
