Fight High Gas Prices

[phil001]

SPAN class=postbodyFONT size=2/FONTA great idea is underway. Not a gimmick--no tricks--just a common sense way to use the free market system.

Everyone should immediately stop buyinggas from EXXON and MOBIL stations (same company). When they see enough lost sales---they will have to drop their price to get customers back. Then other gas companies will have to do the same to compete. A gas war will occur benefitting us all. No one has to spend an extra penny----just take a simple action. Similar consumer grass roots efforts worked with the airlines---it will work here too.Spread the word to you friends.....the more who participate, the faster prices get cut. Apathy by the public will result in $4.00 gasthis summer! BR

I don't see how that would work. I don't shop at either of those gas stations. Most of the stations in my area buy from a wholesaler and it could be any brand of gas.

See you can buy gas from a Exxon saler and let's say Shell bought gas from them. All Shell does is put there additives in the gas to make it their brand.

You may be right, but I don't think so. It is the gas station that that sells and it has the same brand name everyday, regardless of where they obtain the gas. If the EXXON/MOBIL stations see customers driving by their station in numbers to buy at another station, just what do you think they will do? Nothing? Suit yourself, but I believe this will work but for the negative nabobs and apathetic do nothings!
