Hello list serve co-members,
I apologize if this message is inappropriate to send on to the list, but the
rising price of gasoline is important to me personally and as a home care
therapist as well, so I'm taking a chance here and am hoping you will not be
offended.
Since many of us are dependent on our automobiles, I thought you may want to
hear about what follows. I honestly don't know if this message is a scam,
and I hope it isn't; it makes sense to me. Here in northern Virginia, gas is
$1.65 per gallon; in Chevy Chase, Maryland, it is $l.75 per gallon.
This was forwarded to me by another home care therapist with whom I work,
with the heading, "Read, think about it, and give it a chance."
THE FOLLOWING WAS SENT BY AN ECONOMIST WITHIN THE FUEL INDUSTRY.
ANOTHER ECONOMICS PROFESSOR AT CAL REITERATED THE SAME LAST WEEK. I THINK IT
IS WORTH TRYING.
I got this from a reliable source. 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!).
To have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of users. But, it's
do-able!
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 reiteration, 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 a message that
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!
Worth a try?
