Petition high gas prices..do something!
- Thread starter CWD
- Start date
Just don't buy from Exxon or Mobil. That will drive the prices down, but other than that, who cares? Is 3% really going to make a huge difference anyways?
OK first off boycotting exxon will do nothing. they made 8.4 billion dollars allready in 06. so you and 80% of america is going to have to go on a 100% strike well into 07 and that still wont do it. My g/f's grandfather is the ceo of Exxon. and he says they are trying to keep costs down, and he said if iran comes thru with more oil it will go down this summer .50-$1 in price. it will also help when all the rigs out in galveston are back to 100% working order.

But if it is true, tell him I think he is a piece of shit!
It may not hurt!
The rest of the message is clear in the petition however. Petition your Representatives in Washington too if you can. It is a lot supply and demand so 3% would be a start. My Cobra, well not a DD and two years old and less than 5K on it. I drive the old cheap "Beater car" LOL!bullitt5177 said:
Thats what Im thinking. plus, China and India are two huge factors in the equasion that are buying up as much oil as they can get their hands on.Supply and demand, more demand, less supply = higher gas prices. We need a new fuel source period. I believe ethenol is the answer to this problem.It is fairly inexpensive to convert current engines to burn it, and it can be produced fairly easily. Look at Brazil, and how they have done with it after the 70's oil embargo.Coiled03 said:

Tell him to release the info on how much they really pay for a barrel of oil.
They claim $72 a barrel for light sweet crude and that's what they base gas prices on.
Too bad they buy and refine more sour crude than anything else!
They buy that stuff for a hell of alot less.
That's why they can make all those record profits.
My family owns an Exxon (old school service station with 3 bays) and I can tell you that boycotting Exxon's will do nothing but hurt the economy. The retailers aren't making any money on the gas, we make about 5 cents per gallon, boycotting us will put American's out of jobs and do nothing for cutting fuel prices.
My BF's grandfather is the CEO of Ford just to let everyone know....
^^^ Well, my g/f's aunt's grandfather's gay nephew owns the world.... No, really, he owns the world.....

The price of oil affects everything, not just what you pay for gasoline. Even if you don't own a car you will still be paying more for most other goods and services. This is not good for anyone except the oil companies, and f--k them
