lower gas prices

the

more

whoever

>> 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 $2.75 for regular unleaded in my

conditioned us

>> the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50-$1.75, we need to

>>
>> 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
(sic)
>> 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 sends 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 and DON"T
>> purchase ANY gasoline from EXXON and MOBIL. 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. But I am... so trust me on this one.)
>>
>> 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
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
