i have gas
This would probably never work, and I can't believe I'm actually spamming ezabel with this, but i'm just so sick of gas prices going up that i've become desperate, haha... anyway... fight the man
Subject: GAS PRICES
A pretty simple plan to take the power back. I'm in.
Read on.... Subject: GAS WAR!
Join the resistance!!!!
I hear we may hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. 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.
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 $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.97 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 whimp 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 I 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 TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS
CAN REALLY WORK.

Thank you for getting rid of the
<<<<<<<
thing whomever!
Yeah that was pretty annoying.
i want to get a civic hybrid...it gets like 50-60 miles to the gallon!
Yeah well I used to have a chevrolet sprint. It used to get 50 miles to a gallon. It was great I could get $5 worth and drive forever. It had 3 cylinder power. OH YEAH!!! It was great.
how many miles are cars suposed to get? i can drive about 200 miles before filling up... is that bad or good?
Well that varies from car to car how much they are supposed to get. It also depends on the size of your tank, how much gas it can hold.
o hm... i think mines good... i drive at least 2 hours in it every day and a tank lasts me about a week
2 hours a day X 7 days a week, thats 14 hours per week driving. so 200 miles a week / 14 hours per week = an average speed of 14.2 miles per hour. GET OUTTA MY WAY GRANDMA!!!
nice extrapolation!
huh?! he musta used his butt calculator.
dumb
thanks, babe.
ewwwwwwww cooooootiessssss
when you grow up you will love those kinda cooties.
how do you guys type these one word comments w/out getting that "you must use 15 characters or more" message!!!!??
Magic
hahahahahahaha. i was doing the same thing at the same moment!!! the one mind still works!!
I don't think it can ever die no matter who changes and what-not..we still got the same sick twisted mind!
hm... no, one week=5 days cuz i'm in school so that is 5 days not 7 haha redo your math ... also if you knew me AT ALL you would know i drive any thing BUT slow
a good amount is like 20 miles to the galon...thats what i get about.
That's what I get too..though supposedly that's not very good. My dad's saturn can get 40 on the highway..I love driving that car!
Yeah 20 is ok but not that great. My current car gets about 40 I'd say around 40 is good.
diesel jetta will get you near 50 MPG IIRC
FIGHT THE POWER!!!!!...i'm up for any resistance against the man, i'm in.....
we don't need the key, we'll BREAK it
"anger is a gift"
weird, i was listening to that song on my way home from jersey last night
i just found out that on your taxes you can claim 15 cents a mile. So if you keep a record of it it adds up and that is a deductible in itself. Information i could;ve used yesterday!!
Are you sure about that? I thought that was only if you have a job that requires driving and you could only count the miles while you were working.
like pioneering? cuz someone told me that they were allowed to do this.
I really don't know that's why I was asking.
yeah, pioneers can claim that. also, 50% of money spent on meals in the ministry.
can you be continuous auxilary or do you HAVE to be regular?
Actually, an elder in my hall told me anyone can claim that deduction.
Is he an accountant?
yeah, that could be true. makes sense to me. if in doubt, read the stuff, or check with an accountant.
Yeah you always should check into something like this before doing it. If your really not sure and have no way of finding out when in doubt do without. Works very well when it comes to things like this and escpecially with the truth as well.
Oh man I wish I knew that. Oh well. to late now. I'll have to keep that in mind when I start again in september.
egads. the least you could have done it removed the > characters and formatted it properly. :(
i added those and formatted it like this for better readability... man... u try and try but just get no appreciation
i use water in my tank.
better than pee (oh boy....i've spent way too much time in your presence ty)
when i typed out water, i really thought pee. but i didn't want to get dirty.
I'm SO over the high prices....try paying $2.50 for regular unleaded and filling up an SUV - GRRRRR
ouch... thats gotta hurt
yeah i'm almost @ $50 for a fill up - NOT GOOD! thats a pair of shoes or a hockey ticket to a game! LOL
thats amazing. it costs me half that to fill my tank and i have a pretty big car. i'd invest in a turbo-charged vespa or something.
o man.. it costs me $15 to fill up my tank.. but that only lasts me about 5 days since i drive so freaking much
the upside, my tank gets GREAT mileage...
*I envy you *sigh*
It's sad when it costs as much to get gas as it does to go to a hockey game. Something needs to be done about this. lol
i only buy gas from those crappy "no brand" places... i get it for 1.47!
I only buy at BP cause I have a card for them.
yeah, i only buy mobil or exxon, because the gas card rocks
be careful of delta sometimes cars dont like their "gas"
