POINT IS SKIP: BUY FROM "CHEEPIES" AND THE "BIGGIES" FEEL THE LOST SALES AT
THE RETAIL LEVEL, THEN LOWER THEIR PRICES, CAUSING THE "CHEEPIES" TO FOLLOW
SUIT LOWERING THEIRS TO "KEEP UP" HENCE (and hopefully....) CAUSING A "GAS
WAR" WOULD'NT IT BE GREAT?
HEY,IT MIGHT WORK..... HOW DO YOU KNOW ?
WHY NOT GIVE IT AN HONEST TRY EVERYBODY? "CHEEPIE GAS" IS CHEAPER ANYWAY
RIGHT? SO WHAT DOES IT COST TO TRY ?
LIKE THE AD SEZ: "JUST DO IT"! -DOUG IN NuYAWK

FW: [Fwd: Fw: Can't hurt!]A grand idea with noble, common folks in mind,
and
it's worth a try, but it will also take us all to be conscious of the

Subject: This is important for all of us commuters
Importance: High
Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent,
united action. Philip Hollsworth, a buddy of mine, offered me 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.
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. (If it
doesn't,
please contact the person who sent it to you ... maybe they can breath
some
life into you!)
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30
RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
