I just got this email and thought I might share..... Would like to hear Julio's thoughts if possible? Not really sure if this could or would work BUT I do know I am tired of paying F*(&% $35.00 to fill my POS Grand Prix!
I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. Want

> 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
