Someone sent me this email and I thought I'd share it with you in case you're interested, In theory this could work and adjust price fixing....
The rumour is we are going to hit close to $1.00 a liter by the summer. Want
gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united
action. This idea makes much more sense than the "don't buy gas on a certain
day" campaign that was going around last year.
The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we couldn'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. Whoever thought of
this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Read it and
think about it.
Right now gasoline priced at about $.65 is considered really
cheap. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us
to think the cost of a liter of gas is cheap at $.65-.75, we need to
take aggressive action to teach them the 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 it 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, ESSO and PetroCanada. 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 ESSO and
PetroCanada gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me
at
this point...keep reading and you'll see how simple it is to reach
millions of people!!
I am sending this to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at
least ten more, that's 300. If those 300 send it to at least ten more
that's 3000. 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!
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 30 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.
