GAS WAR - an idea that will work

Someone sent me this via email.  I thought it was interesting.

GAS WAR - an idea that [might] work

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 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 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.

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.
