Guest guest Posted April 22, 2001 Report Share Posted April 22, 2001 This email was sent to me today and I wanted to share it with you...I don't know if everyone will participate, but it's a great idea...if we were to boycott the two giants, we just might be able to reduce these exorbitant prices. lany I received this email and thought I would go ahead and forward it to ya'll. Dont know if it would really work but it is an interesting idea. A little more sound than last years plan to not buy gas on a single day. We heard today from a man who is very savvy about the economy, namely, , (visit his website @ www..com http://www..com> for lots of good information), and he says that the gas prices are going to start going up again and will be high this summer-$2 and up. We need to do whatever we can, and do it NOW!!!! Gasoline Prices This makes more sense than the don't buy gas on a certain day routine that was going around last year Gasoline Prices! Whoever started this has a good point. By now, you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.49 is cheap. Me too, as it is now $1.58 for regular unleaded! 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 less than $1.50, we need to try an aggressive response. 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 don't buy it. But, (as the gas companies know full well, and are counting on), that's not really a practical option since we all have come to rely on our cars. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together. Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, don't purchase gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), namely EXXON and MOBIL. You see, if they are not selling, they should be inclined, (i.e., " forced " ), to reduce their prices. And, because of their size, and hence market share, if they reduce their prices the other companies will too. (They would HAVE no choice!). Isn't that a " juicy " prospect? But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of users. But it's doable! I am sending this note to many people. If each of you send it to at least 10 more ...and those 10 send it to at least 10 more and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth iteration, we will have reached over one million consumers. Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on, or one you compose, to at least 10 more E-mail addresses. PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO BELOW $1.28 - $1.29 AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK! SBI Prayer Forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
