[snip]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.
---------------my comment below---------------------


Um....  I already don't buy from Exxon or Mobil stations.  The only way to really win is to get 55-gallon drums and fill them up with cheap gas like they do on farms, but I don't have enough room (or faith that it won't explode) in my garage.  I'm buying primarily from BJ's or Costco.
