    Gas Prices Are Too High!

    THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY…..BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN.


    This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive.
    It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from
    Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please

    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 in April or May!
    It's worth your consideration.
    Join the resistance!!!!

    We need to take some intelligent, united action.
    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!

    (It's almost $5 gallon in So. Cal !!)

    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 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 30 people. If each of us 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 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!!!


    How long would all that take? If each of us tells some one or sends 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 $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
    THIS CAN REALLY WORK!

    Please Keep it going

              Thats actually a good idea, would be more helpful if you listed what stations use exxon and mobile, (we have neither here).

              However, I don't see anyone really doing it.

                  I have another solution to lower your fuel bill. Drive smaller cars. Go to work by bus or bicycle. Don't live two hours away from work. Tell your "investing friends" on Wall Street to stop speculating on fuel.
                  Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

                        It was $1200 to fill my grandparents heating oil tanks last winter. It was around $800 or so for our house. But i do think that we should not of sold the coal/wood stove. That stove made a mess, but it was far cheaper to feed.

                        As for people selling their SUV's or trucks, most people need them. Granted that there is some out there that don't. Where is it for us to say what others can drive.

                          Moving closer, riding a bike, taking a rickshaw are simplistic non solutions.

                          Many have no choice but to drive. What about people that do a mobile service, live where there is no public transportation or other valid reasons that make not driving unrealistic.

                          I have not driven my Land Cruiser in over a month because of mileage. I bought a more economical car with a smaller 17 gallon (vs 26) tank that in that month has gone from costing 45.00 to fill to 55.00. That is insane!

                          To the person that is sick of the gas threads, why do you read them if you are tired of them? You can just not click the threads you know.

                              Your so lucky - we pumped 3K into ours. I have a 2100 square foot split level ranch. So it is not a mansion. I made sure it is well insulated too. :(

                              I am looking at a pellet stove for this year to take some of the pain away. I am going with the fireplace insert. I have two "beauty" fireplaces. So losing one will not hurt me too much! haha!
