<DIV><STRONG>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.</STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>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.</STRONG><SPAN class=490480703-13042006> </SPAN></DIV>
