I receive this in an email today, and thought I would pass it along!

FYI
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, 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.

This is a plan that can really work. Please read on and join with us! Gas
is currently $2.79 for regular unleaded in my town. With the price of gasoline
going up more each day, we the consumers need to take action. The only
way we're going to see gas prices come down is if we hit someone in the
pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT
hurting ourselves. 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're not selling any
gas, they'll 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 at this point....
keep reading...

I'm sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at least ten more
(30 x 10 =3D 300) ... those 300 send to at least ten (300 x 10 =3D 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 just
aren't a mathematician, 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.
