Here's something that might make a difference if we do it, coming from Clark
Howard.
Subject: Let's keep Gas prices down!
AN ECONOMIST WITHIN THE FUEL INDUSTRY SENT THE FOLLOWING.
ANOTHER ECONOMICS PROFESSOR AT CAL REITERATED THE SAME LAST WEEK. I THINK
IT IS WORTH TRYING.
I got this from a reliable source & the website listed is legit. We heard
today from a man who is very savvy about the economy, namely, Clark Howard,
and he says that the gas prices are going to start going up again and will
be high this summer-$2.00 and up. We need to do whatever we can, and do it
NOW!
This makes more sense than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" routine that
was going around last year re: 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 do-able!
I am sending this note to 65 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!
is a chain letter an appropriate way to sign a petition??
