==============================================
This is ALMOST as stupid as the "don't buy gas for a
day" idea. Does anyone
REALLY think this will hurt EXXONMOBIL (yep, that's
right, they're one
company and have been ever since they merged over 5
years ago!!). The answer here
is that you will hurt the individual retailers who
own ExxonMobil
stations/convience stores since XOM (ExxonMobil's
stock symbol) will sell their surplus
to the companies that suddenly have a shortage (gee
wonder why that is).
The overall effect will be to put the mom's and pop's
stores outta the
business, thereby giving us fewer choices on where to
buy gas and giving those still
in business more pricing power.
If you really want to change things then you need to
change the fuel your
vehicle runs on.... i.e.- bio-diesel, hybrids, etc.
But this idea is just
stupid garbage put out by stupid people for stupid people.
