Gasoline Sabotage Plan

Lately, I heard in the news about how all America is suffering because of the high gasoline prices while the owners of the gas companies celebrate double digit profit growth. Experts in this matter comment about the irony of this phenomenon.

How come that today we are paying higher prices than ever? The media want to make us believe that it is because countries from the OPEC have raised the oil price. Although, it is true that the barrel of oil has a higher price today; it does not justify the huge price increase at the pomp.

Some suggest to do gas sabotage; what they are proposing to do is to not buy gas a certain day all together. Although I recognize that doing so can have an effect, the true is that sooner or later we are going to buy gas again; in other words, the gas companies do not worry too much about it because they know they are going to end up with our money their hands just in a different day.

I propose a plan a little bet different. First of all we all agree that without us (customers) all of those companies couldn’t exit. This is a simple true; however, many times those companies want us to believe other ways because they know about the tremendous power we as people have. If we are together we can accomplish about any thing; the secret is to be together.

The plan isn’t to stop buying gas for a day but from a specific gas company. In this way we will still get the gas we need to keep doing our daily tasks and at the same time put pressure in that company. After no long that gas company won’t have a choice but to lower its prices.

The important things here are three.

First, we need to all agree in one specific gas company( you decide and let me know through a comment)

Second, we need set a price we want that gas company to reach before we can start buying from them again (for example $2.00 per gallon) we need to stay together on this until that company offer the price we want; if we start buying back from that company because they start offering gas at a lower price than the other companies this won’t work. Remember together we will reach a fair price ($2.00 per gallon)

Last thing, once that company lowers its prices to less that $2.00 per gallon we have to pick another company, do the same, and stay together

It is true that some will critic this plan; especially those that has an interest in those companies but I can tell you that if we come together and stay together we will write history.
