How To Reduce Gas Prices

[speedlimit]

Hi guys, got this e-mail yesterday..I don't know if this make sense,

Subject: Gas Prices

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE
> CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO P30.00 PER LITER.
>
> 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 last
> April or May! It's worth your consideration. Join the resistance!! !!
>
> I hear we are going to hit close to P60.00 a LITER by next summer and
> it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?
>
> 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!
>
> By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about P30.00 is
> super cheap. Me too! It is currently P45.00/liter 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 P30 - P35/liter,
> 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 SHELL and
> CALTEX
> .
>
> 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
> SHELL and CALTEX 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 SHELL/CALTEX UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE P30.00
> RANGE
> AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
>
> Keep it going
