Default Gas price's

This is worth a shot...
GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work 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 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!!!

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.
