    Great idea on how to bring Gas Prices back down

    Hey guys,

    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 $ 4.00 a gallon by 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 $2.00 is
    super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.55 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 $1.50 - $1.75, 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 (which now are one), EXXON and
    MOBIL.

    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 Exxon
    and Mobil 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!

    If this makes sense to you, please pass this message o n. I suggest
    that we not buy from Exxon and Mobil until they lower their prices to
    the $2.00 Range and keep them down. This can really work!!! Pitch
    in!

    Acting together we can make a difference.

              The high gas prices are coming from the high crude prices which are set in the marketplace not by oil companies. The historical relationship between crude and gas prices right now is off; gas would be priced higher based on current price of crude and typical relationship.

              East coast crack spread is actually negative right now.

                    do we really need to go over the basic principles of the market economy?

                    Let's say this happened, even though it's impossible since it's an unstable equlibrium (game theory, nash... look it up).

                    So, Given that demand is unchaged and, self-evidently, that demand is always met (please refer to the basic supply/demand model of markets and how it determines market price.. high school economics).. all this would do is drain the gas tanks of the gas retailers that aren't the ones that are being targetted. It would also create massively long lines at gas stations, waste people's time and patience. It would force people to drive greater distances to find one of the acceptable gas stations (which is economically irrational since it would unneccessarily waste gasoline.. which is insane).

                    If this went on for any prolonged period it would simply create a seconday wholesale market for gasoline since the demand would have to be met, and the targetted oil companies would still be producing gasoline which they would simply sell to the gasoline retailer that had a sudden increase in demand for gasoline.

                    It's even more stupid since gas retailers are run not by the oil companies but by individual business owners. So what this plan would actually do.. if it happened (which is impossible since it's irrational and insane) is harm a few entrepreneurs who feed their family with the money from the gas station. The oil company will still have made its money but a few people will be forced into bankrupty because of collective retardation.

                    The sad and pathetic part of ridiculous chain letters like this is that there are people who have so little understanding and complete ignorance about how the market ecnomomy works.. that they say "ya screw the oil companies, this is a great idea.. this could work".

                    Everyone needs to pick up a freaking economics text book and learn something.

                        Someone really needs to take keyboards away from the retarded, or at least have a intelligence test required before you can access any non "safe" areas of the internet.

                        Guess whole supply/demand concept went out window, and yes even big oil such as Shell, BP, and Chevron have publicly stated that all of the easy to get to oil is gone (anwar excluded but only cheveron would know for sure). Not to mention the whole damn issue about the lack of refinery abilities.

                            the prices are set within a range from the company who's name you fly on your station.

                            For instance, If you fly Exxon, and use their gas, they give you a range that you can not go over or UNDER for that matter

                              Thanks for posting a chain letter that I usually just delete.

                              Doing this won't affect the gas price one bit. It will just make the American population look even more stupid than the world already thinks we are. Yeah, pick two companies and don't buy gas from them. That will really hit them right in the pocket books!

                              In that case, why not stop drinking beer because it gets delivered to the stores using gas purchased from those companies. How about chapstick, better stop using that, too. Want to make a nice dinner tonight? You can't because your dumbass is boycotting the major oil/gas providers and guess how that food is delivered to the grocery store? Yup, you guessed it.

                              When you stop buying gas from these companies they'll just up the prices they charge to companies that buy in bulk like freight companies and airlines. Then instead of hitting us in the wallet at the gas pump you'll be shitting yourself when they're charging $50 for a 12 pack of Busch Light.

                              Only self-centered idiots think that gas we put in our cars is the only way the oil companies make money. That's a fraction compared to other industries that rely on oil energy. Butane, Kerosene, Asphalt, Lubricating Oils, Wax, and Animal feed are all byproducts of crude oil. So just get rid of your car and start riding a bike if you can't afford gas and quit bitching about it. If you owned an oil company then you'd be doing the same thing they are; getting filthy rich.

                              Don't hate the player, hate the game. The game being the corrupt ass government we have in America.

                                    Better not have tires, tubes, plastic, rubber, or use any chain or berrings that need greese or oil either.

                                    Yes our oil addiction is that fucking bad. Gas prices are just something we actually see day to day in our face and hand over money for directly.

                                        I know a quite a few engineers.

                                        Most of them are clueless in regards to economics.

                                        Weird they'd start off a chain letter of this sort as an idea pushed by two engineers, and not two economists.

                                          True... but the vast majority of it goes to fuel.

                                            Weird they'd start off a chain letter of this sort as an idea pushed by two engineers, and not two economists.

                                                Nobody will say that fuel is not the largest, he was speaking about the trucks, planes, etc that carry other goods by the way. We just do not see the gas behind other items first hand though a good indicator is typically iceberg lettuce.

                                                It is a world commodity as well. If we do not buy it it will be sold elsewhere. Specially since we do not produce even a close proximity to what we use or need locally.

                                                PS. Before I get someone who notices or jumps my shit. I am against drilling in ANWAR and my reasons come from oil companies like BP, Shell and most importantly Chevron (since they are the only one who ever drilled it before).

                                                    It'll keep going up and up and up. There is no end in sight.

                                                    People will continue to buy gas no matter what, we love our rides.

                                                                      Does that mean we also stop buying our food. Guess this means we better grow our own produce, raise our own meat, eat seasonally yet do not use motorized tractors unless they use bio fuels or are electric. Guess that also means we better learn to make alcohol, make our own clothes, cut wood to heat the house, create our own energy to power our houses and holy fuck you are onto something. Then those greedy ass oil companies will learn something.

                                                                      Optionally if we all just ate foods only produced locally or within say 2 hours of your city at a maximum. Stores would then order less other foods produced elsewhere and often on the other side of the globe. This alone would have a seriously large impact on oil consumption. However this would have very little effect on prices that much. Even with a drop in usage others would pick up the slack, like India, China, or even fucking odd ball parts of Africa. All of them are quickly moving from walking, biking, or even animal power to the use of motorized vehicles. It is not stopping. We need an alternative along with less usage.
