Subject: Gasoline War
This could conceivably work.
-----------------------------------------
I hear we are going to hit close to $1.00 a litre by thesummer.
Want
gasoline prices to come down? We need to take intelligent,
united
action. Phillip Hollsworth, offered this good idea:
This makesMUCH 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 at that because they knew we wouldn't
continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusingto 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 it and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about
69.9cents a litre is super cheap. Me too! It is currently 76.9
for regularunleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the
OPEC nations haveconditioned us to think that the cost of a Litre of gas is
CHEAP at 69.9,
we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS
control themarketplace.... 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, DONT purchase ANY gasoline from the
two biggest companies (which now are PETRO CANADA & SHELL). If
they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to
reduce their prices. If theyreduce their prices, the other companies will
have to follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to
reach literally millions of Shell and Petro Canada 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 about thirty people. If each of
yousends it to at least ten ore (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300
send it toat least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000). and so on, by the
time the message reaches the sixth generation 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. How long would all that take? If each of us sends
this email out toten more people within one day of receipt,
all 300 MILLION people couldconceivably 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.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES AND KEEP THEMDOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK. YOU KNOW THEY LOVE HOLIDAYS AND SUMMER
TRAVELERS.
