Haha. I did that shit back last year when the prices hit like 6 bucks a gallon. I looked outside and the cars where lined up trying to get gas. i already knew it would be cheap again the next day, so I took a chance. I siphoned all the gas out of my car and what I could find, then when down there and sold it all for 5 bucks a gallon. Lol. I had about 20 gallons because i used the lawn mower gas and stuff too. Awesome shit, then 2 days later. i went filled back up for right under 3 bucks a gallon. hell, it was a quick 40 bucks profit.

You guys voted for Bush now stop bitching. Get up get out and get somethin shit! Your boy got us into two wars and we're looking at a 3rd so you can only expect higher prices. And don't go saying its not Bush's fault its China's fault. Get over yourself who's sending industry to China? What happens when China's increases their industry as a result of us sending them our jobs? What happens as a result of us pissing off the whole Arab world and the OPEC states? High gas prices. Higher race gas prices. Now put that on your plate accept it, stfu and keep truckin.

^finally somebody hates him as much as me......btw premium here in augusta is now$3.17 and climbing......

GAS WAR - an idea that WILL 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 r! efusing 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 $2.89 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.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people.

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the time the messag e reaches the sixth group 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! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE
>>>>HUNDRED MILLION >>>>PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you h! ave to do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am, so trust me on this one.)

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 300 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 m! akes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.

THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

FUCK YEAH!!!>....i have already send it to 90 people....so in that case i have acted in the name of two lazy mofos in IA.... :D

I could really care less about him but he's pissing in my pond and fucking with my gas prices. I liked gas being $1/gal, I like driving fast as fuck. I like traveling on pocket change. That was what made this country the shit. The freedom to get up and go. Now you can only afford to get up and go to work. What a bitch.

^yea...but that even cost me 55 bucks this week in my teg....i drive a truck at work and i used a record $500.00 in diesel this week.......this shit is killing my profit margin

i never liked him in the first place

dont remember exactly when but it stayed around 1.90-2.00$ for a couple of weeks...not long but it did go under the 2$ mark..

sure as hell filled up at 2.89 last night while i was trashed. i was pretty pissed i spent all that money :( at least i only have to buy 87 octane now, cause i DONT miss 93+.

i hope who ever sent that post or email about the boycotting companies, i hope that they know that exxon and mobil are the same company...they merged together a while back lol so you really would only be hurting one company not 2

Guys, just so you know, if you consider inflation and how gas prices were in the past, we are right about where we are supposed to be. Gas prices were technically too low in the past and now they are finally coming up to the levels they are supposed to be at, so get used to it.
