How To Get GAS Back Down To P30.00 Per Liter


Forwarded e-Mail by Dr. Raphy Tayco

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the “don’t buy gas on a certain day” campaign that was going around in April or May.
It’s worth your consideration.
I heard we are going to hit close to P60.00 a LITER of gas by next summer. It might even go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?
We need to take some intelligent, united action. 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.
By now you’re probably thinking gasoline priced at about P30.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently P45.00/liter for regular unleaded.
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a liter of gas is CHEAP at P30 - P35/liter, 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.
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 SHELL and CALTEX.
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 SHELL and CALTEX gas buyers. Let’s say I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sent it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) .. and those 300 sent it to at least ten more and so on, by the time the message 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 10 friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted.
How long would all that take? If each of us sent this e-Mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next eight (8) days!!!
If this made sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we do not buy from SHELL/CALTEX UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE P30.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.. THIS CAN REALLY WORK. /MP
