Now, I normally don't give these things more than a glance, but one of my co-workers brought it to my attention and made me read it. It is a chain letter but it kinda makes sense to me.

Here it is:

quote:

GASOLINE PRICES

I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. This
makes no sense to anyone but the oil companies as the spot price of oil
has hardly changed.

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 wouldn't
continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas, or curtail our
driving. 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
really might work. Please read it and join with us if you agree!


By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super
cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.97 for regular unleaded in my town
(California). 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 or limiting 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!!

I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it
to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at
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. (If
you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do
is send this to 10 people.... well, let's face it, you just aren't a
mathematician. But I am... so trust me on this one).

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email 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.

PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS
CAN REALLY WORK! YOU KNOW THEY LOVE HOLIDAYS AND SUMMER TRAVELERS.

Be kinder than necessary! Make a good summer!

Where to buy gasoline and not support terrorism? This is food for
thought, actually Yisrael Medad of the Begin Center sent the following
information.

Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into
the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't
import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the
feeling that every time you fill up the tank, you are sending your money
to people who are trying to kill you, me, your family, and your friends.


I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies
are the best to buy gas from. Major companies that import Middle Eastern
oil (for the period 9/1/00 - 8/31/01).

Shell 205,742,000 barrels

Chevron/Texaco 144,332,000

Exxon/Mobil 130,082,000

Marathon 117,740,000

Amoco 62,231,000

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18
BILLION!

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Citgo 0 barrels

Sunoco 0 barrels

Conoco 0 barrels

Sinclair 0 barrels

BP/Phillips 0 barrels

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and
can be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to
state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They
report on a monthly basis. Keep this list in your car; share it with
friends. Stop paying for them to kill us!

What do you guys think? I know where i'm NOT going for gas in the future.

That just makes me want to send it to you every day for the rest of my life. :-p

I don't do the forwarding thing, because I hate it myself. I happen to read this though and it seems like good info if anything. That's why I decided to share.

I'm not that gullable to beleive that this would actually work, and that's not why I posted it. I was more concerned with the information about where the oil companies got their oil from. I for one wouldn't want to support middle eastern oil companies.

Are you kidding? Most if not all of our oil comes from the Middle East including those in the "Axis of Evil" such as Iraq and terrorist supporters such as Saudi Arabia which we counter by being as nice to Saudi Arabian representatives as possible because Bush is owned by oil. There's no escaping it.

According to the most recent figures regarding crude oil imports, only 31% of the USA's imports came from Arab OPEC countries (Algeria, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia) in January 2002. The top six countries (by percentage of total USA imports) supplying crude oil to the USA in January 2002 were:

Saudi Arabia: 16.9%
Mexico: 15.1%
Canada: 15.0%
Venezuela: 14.4%
Iraq: 11.4%
Nigeria: 5.9.%


(Henceforth, our definition of "Middle East" will encompass the five countries identified by the U.S. Department of Energy as "Arab OPEC" nations: Algeria, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. This definition does not include other oil-exporting countries identifed by the DoE as "Persian Gulf" exporters, such as Bahrain, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.)

NO, YOU'RE NOT!!!! AND YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT A STATISTICIAN EITHER! OR AN ECONOMIST! I HATE IDIOTS! AND PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN ALL CAPS! Where was I? Oh ya,... er, this won't work. Neither the 300 million part, nor the forcing the companies to lower prices part.

Microeconomics 101: The current market price is the one at which the supply curve meets the demand curve. If demand eventually goes back up after this "price war", the prices will go back up. You know what happens if prices stay down? SHORTAGE. That's right, people with the need for gas and the money for it will not be able to get it. That's bad for everyone, according to the classical theorists and tenured professors.

Now that that's out of the way, you're a silly poopiehead for posting this to the board! Where's the forwards thread?
