How-To Bring down gas prices!

[knarf]

C&P

Great idea for bringing down the gas prices!


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 at that because they knew we w ouldn'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 $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is

currently $2.79 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.

< I>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 im pact, 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 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 sends it to at least

ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten

more (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!!!

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.

Great idea I am sending to everyone I know

You really think that will work?? They'll just sell their reserves to someone else that is selling.....get real man, the only way to bring down gas prices is to stop buying so much...period....reduce your use and if EVERYONE else does, the reserves will grow and prices will have to fall.

Hate to say it, but skinerds right. It would be nice if we could get a bunch of really smart scientists together and develop a car that doesn't run on petroleum products too.

[boobookitty]

I Think everybody should just file suit about price gougeing. The radio stated that gasoline compnies profits are up 200% this year. I wish I had access to make sure this is correct if that is the fact then it is the same as after a hurricane with the price of water and lumber gennerators and so on. The problem is that polittions are all mostly attorneys and does anybody belive what an attorrney says? All I can say is "would you like fries with that" keep sending all your money over seas and see what is left for jobs. Walmart is a big employer but how many employees at walmart have hospitalzation other then public asstince? They were the highest in fedral help.

that car already exists , it just needs a few tweaks , like n2 needed to get " free tv " again .

anything with a diesel will run on used veg oil , which right now is pretty much free for the taking from any restruant . all it takes is a bit of effort to collect the oil , filter it , and a few modifications to the car / truck to run the oil , and viola , everyone smells french fries as you drive by .

I don't know why people are upset cause a company makes a profit, that's the American thing, business for profit. Nobody twists anyones arm to force them to buy gasoline. They have a product, they sell a lots of it, they make lots of money.
And, compared to a lot of places, like Europe for example, gas is still cheap here. Americans drive way too much, but way too much gasoline, slow down and conserve.

Tax subsidies are the wrong thing in this picture, tax breaks doe companies wallowing in cash is just wrong.

Say, I know how to bring down prices, let the government run the oil, that'll do it...hahahahahahaaaa.......put the Democrats in charge of it, since they know what's good for the country, they'll get it under control......sure they will.....no wait, weren't they the party pushing to raise gas taxes?? Naw, not the Democrats.......

[delco]

there is an engine out there that doesnt run on any petroleum it runs on freon and very little at that, i know someone that has seen this motor running in a backyard barn. the only thing is it will not be manufactured, one of the Houston oil companies has bought the patent on this motor and has paid the developer well, and of course there is a hush hush thing in the contract that the developer cant reveal any plumbing or head designs on the engine, the person that saw the engine saw it in its development stages so he doesnt really know what was involved but he does know that it worked. the petroleum companies will make beaucoups money and continue to destroy the environment

[lefty]

lol!

My brother's, wife's uncle, brother in law (who also has a hack for DTV) has seen it!

It was Al Bore, but he thinks we are causing global warming: what an ass!

Gas is still cheap here compared to Evian water. Get real folks. The oil companies make 9 cents a gallon compared with our government which make around 50 cents a gallon! Why isn't everyone on the back of the government to shut down the taxes we pay on gas? 9 cents/50 cents? Go figure. The masses are the asses, IMAO!

Ever hear of the stock market? That is what gasoline/oil has turned into. It goes UP in the summertime - more traffic on the roads = more money. Since it FALLS in the wintertime because of less traffic, we need to purchase as MUCH gas at once as we can. Most of us don't travel hundreds of km every day, and if we do we return home before having to refill. We all need our OWN huge 500 gallon tanks (not that huge, a household oil tank holds 100 gallons) and fill them up when gas is cheap, and use that gas while gas is expensive. most cars hold what? 10-12 gallons (40-50 L) so if we were to somehow buy the gas we need for a month and store it, we could use that supply and purchase again when prices dip.

Now you would be looking at a $750 gas bill at one shot, but in reality that same gas would have costed you $1195 if you bought it when you needed it, saving you over $450 in one summer - provided you only burn 5 gallons a day (5 gallon a day over 90 days = 450 gallons)

Of course people in urban areas this won't work - as where can you stash a 10'X10'X4' tank, but people in rural areas or who own a large land lot - its something to think about.

yes, I believe that, just like the 400 mpg carberator.
conspiricy, BS....

Put the illegal immigrants growing corn for e85. instead of gas, well it has a little petroleum in it just 15% though.

[boobookitty]

If the goverment wouldn't subdize the crops there would be no need for imagriants. Why not send Kwait a bill for the desert storm they not hurting for cash. And Iraq a bill for there liberation you really couldn't put a price on lost lives though.

[ghost71799]

Is this what I told everyone back a few years ago?

Get real people, there is nothing better than a combustion engine.

I happen to be an ASE master in training and on the the Dean's list.

If you like to change tires every month go get the electric motor car, or if you like doing only eighty miles per hour get the hydrogen powered car.

The government is going broke, why do you think we are paying out the ass for gas.

You want it to stop, get on the phone with your cousins, sisters, brother, and tell him to pimp his sister out to G.W.B. for lower gas prices.

Here is another solution, round up all the whore's and pimp's and tell them to call the White House and tell them to tell everyone there to either lower gas prices or else the price of pussy is going up I bet you everyone of them will break their necks to get it done.

To be real, look at all the instability in the Mid-East and Central America! The whack job in Venz. and Iran say they want to see the price of crude at $100.00 a barrel. Just the threat of that sends the price of crude up and when it goes up so does our gas. Right now, even at $3.00 a gallon, we are not paying that much as compared to a cup of Starbucks, Evian water, etc.

To "control" the price of our gas we need to develop oil supplies here in America, we need to produce more Ethanol (right now we are importing 23% of the Ethanol we use and paying $.54.5 a gallon import duty on it), we need to use more of the Ethanol and other fuel sources, and we need develop vehicles which are more efficient. We also need to have more bio-diesel. The diesel was designed to run on peanut oil originally and with bio-diesel you get cleaner combustion, more power and better economy.

All of these things will greatly reduce our consumption/dependence of foreign oil and reduce our prices at the pump.

It would be nice if the government would reduce their taxes on fuel, but it will not happen. The libs are already trying to raise the taxes on fuel because we are using less fuel and they are therefore collecting less taxes as a result.

The hybrids have caused California to find another way to tax those cars as they are using the roads as much, but using less fuel and so they want to add taxes to the purchase price of the car out there.

[ghost71799]

Bio diesel is still a combustion engine and there is nothing better.:D

ghost

[ruciz]

best way to reduce gas prices is just not use it, too bad the huge corporations and government stuck it to us and force us to use it. Figure out how to get other materials to combust.

80mph is plenty fast for the average traveller. 130KM/h is 20km over the speed limits here in kanukville.

[ghost71799]

Thats why people keep threads to their selfs.

Do you know how long it takes for that car to get to 80 mph.

This is way to long for you to count young man eighteen to nineteen seconds.

No offense


ghost

[ghost71799]

It has alot of torque and it is as slow as a snail.

I looked for the paper that was handed out to all the techs on the car, but I can not find it.

Trust me you do not want one.

ok kiddies...i know the last post was a month ago..so what...as long as you keep voting local and national politicians with ties to oil.....you get what you deserve....and the price of gas these days isnt so much about our demand,albeit,it is substantial,it's about the demand across the globe in places like China which are going thru gargantuan economic growth from money theyve made supplying us with most of the stuff you buy at Walmart...etc....when demand exceeds supply,prices will rise!
if whats about to happen in the testing world is true,then youll see an example of this in the costs of rom 102 cards...they could hit $200 apiece...think about it...if fta gets knocked out....and the rom/arm-ulators are replete with problems....testing a rom102 with blocker may be the main flavor of the day...cards become scarcer..prices shoot up!

think that's bullshit do you?...anyone remember back when you could easily sell P2 aka..."h" CARDS,for $300 TO $350 apiece and nobody cried about it?

this crap about boycotting a certain gas company or two holds no water,they have global buyers willing and eager to buy what we refuse too

for us to ween ourselves off oil will take at least a couple generations and most of us alive today wont reap the benefits from it,at least not in the long term

so get your lube,bend over,and pay $4 plus per gallon like the Europeans have been doing for years

lol

[Cookybaby]

Hey guys, take a look at this website and tell me what you think. I beleive this will solve alot more than gas prices. It is a really cool engine that will not get bought out by the big corporations. Expect to see it out on the market in the next five years. What do you think?

solar power is the only way the more homes that convert to solar power and use electric cars for local driving will send a message to the oil companies thats my plan for the future not just for me but my sons and there families. In the next 5 years my home will be self sufficient you can learn about this at homepower dot com.
