Yea, I have received a few emails also. I think the previoius one happened last Wednesday......I am not sure how it worked though. It needs to be like 3-7 days straight for something to take affect IMO. The day will soon come that my Bonne will run on water! Future mod in the making, oh yea!

actully that will do nothing really, your best bet is to pick one company and boycott them for the rest of the summer.... if their stations have a convience store attached, buy NOTHING at tall from that company... (speedwayy, amoco, bp, marathon....ect...)

This won't work. If you want to do it right, boycott the BIGGEST oil company entirely. They'll have to drop their prices. Think about it. Competition and supply/demand. All other companies will drop thier prices to compete. The largest companies have sway with OPEC.
Bring them to their knees.

I'm talking about boycotting the LARGEST oil company ENTIRELY. I think it'* Exxon/Mobil, but anyone feel free to correct me. Then find out who else they distribute gasoline to. Don't buy gas at ALL from any of them until the gas prices drop at least 10 cents a gallon. Then buy from them. All other companies will then drop prices as they're not getting any business. When prices are equalized at the '10 lower' level, boycott Exxon/Mobil again. Repeat the process.

This will never work. Opec has cut production. Even if you boycott Exxon-Mobil or whoever you want, their prices will go down 10 cents then when you start to buy it again they will raise it right back up because the production with still be the same. It wont matter on how much we boycott it unless we all say "Screw the cars and walk." No matter how long we boycott it, it will go back to the way it was, because they are cutting production. Its simple!
