This approach I could live with........Jeanne

This makes more sense than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" routine
that was going around in April or May. Whoever started this idea has a
good point.
By now, you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.49 is
cheap. Me too! As it is now a $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, that's not really a
very 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 major

oil companies (which now are one),EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not
selling, they will be inclined to reduce their prices and if they reduce

their prices the other companies will too. But to have an impact, we
need
to reach literally millions of users. But it's doable!
I am sending this note to 42 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 east 10 more
E-mail addresses.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO $1.28 or less AND KEEP
THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
