How We Can Put A Stop to High Gas Prices

[shalah]

  The economy is so bad right now with very few to no jobs hiring, groceries and basic needs prices along with gas prices are crazy. People are losing there homes. I think the only way us little people will get anywhere is to complain to our representives. Write letters, send emails, call them every day. We have to stay on top of them if we want change but it has to be the majority of americans to get anywhere.

Drill for oil in the US, build new refineries, and dump the cafe standards.

We are pretty much have our fate left into the hands of the OPEC countries.  Not a whole lot we can do about it.  An alternative fuel would be nice.

Please read this entire idea PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...


Dropping Gas Prices:

This is not the “Don’t Buy Gas for a Day”, but it will show you how we can get gas prices back down to $2.00 per gallon.

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 a couple of years ago.

It’s worth the consideration. Join the resistance!!!

I hear we are going to hit close to $5.00 a gallon by Memorial Day, and it might go higher!! Want gas prices to come down?

We need to make some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at that because they know 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’ve probably thinking gasoline priced at $2.00 is super cheap. Me too!

It is currently $3.59 for regular unleaded in my town.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations has 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 the sellers.

With the prices of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the prices 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 (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 on and I’ll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

This note was sent to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least 10 more (30x10=300) and those 300 send it to at least 10 more (300x10=3000) 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 10 friends each then 30 million people will have been contacted.

If it goes one more 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 will this take? If each of us send this to 10 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.

Keep it going!!!

P.S. Please keep this concept in mind, to keep gas prices from going up in the future.


Conclusion: Oil companies have cross the line, understand this; We' er not saying don't buy gas period, you need gas to back and forth to work or to take of your daily routine - what we' er saying don't buy "EXXON and MOBIL". Lets make the Oil Companies feel the pain for a change! There's no website to go to -  just pass this information on to your family members, co-workers, neighbors and friends. Let Us All Band Together!

I totally agree with you gas prices are waaaaay to high but I really thing maybe we should utilize public transportation more. gas is still being consumed but not by you personally maybe this would save some jobs who knows?? :-

that would work if more places had public transportation. where i live there is none.

As the consumer, we do have some sort of control over the companies. We can choose not to buy gas but because of selfishness or circumstances, we buy gas, ergo, handing our power over to the oil companies.

[mskelle]

don't buy it.
