Get The Price Of Gas


Recommended Posts

$2.90 for the low end and $3.08 for the high end. And to think the big shot at Exxon just got a $400,000,000 retirement bonus. (seen it on FoxNews the other day). Yes that's four hundred million. I'm in the wrong business. :(

At $3.00 a gallon, that's only 13,333,333 gallons. How many people would that take care of for a year?

Say an average of 15 m.p.g. at 1500 miles per week. That would provide 171 people with gas for a year.

Just throwing this out:::::

This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It ' s worth your consideration.

Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! 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 on and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.79 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 wimp out at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people.

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group 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 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. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.

THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Outragous.... been tickling $3 for 10 days or so. The little station on the 4 corners of town closed over the weekend. I would say it's the competition from Walmart and Meijers, because the "big" names were always a bit higher. And... never, ever fuel up near the interstate in Michigan. Man, do they jam ya.

WAL-MART ADVERTISES LOW PRICES EVERYDAY.

AND THESE DAYS YOU CAN GET JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT THERE�FROM AVACADOS TO AUTOPARTS.

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, THE RETAIL GIANT HAS EVEN OUTSOLD OTHER LARGE TOY STORE CHAINS.

AND AT A HANDFUL OF STORES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WAL-MART NOW SELLS GASOLINE.

THE WORLD�S LARGEST CORPORATION SAYS CUSTOMERS WANT LOW GAS PRICES.

BUT LOCAL INDEPENDENT GAS SELLERS COMPLAIN WALMART COULD PUT THEM OUT OF BUSNIESS.

NHPR CORRESPONDENT DARRELL HALEN HAS THE STORY.

The Walmart in Muskegon has a gas station---one problem. It only takes debit or credit cards, so the cash or check writing customer is out of luck. And, they're only a couple cents lower (but it works--can't figure out why folks wait in line for 20 minutes to save a total of about 10 cents....don't they know they'll burn that much gas waiting in line??)
