Got this from co-worker today. It came from exec.@ Coca-Cola or something
To make a long story short, they basically say to quit buying gas from Exxon & Mobil, the two giants in the industry. They say after a while it will drive prices down....way down..... I don't know,just passing it on to do my 30-person obligatory deal...I've done way more than my part 'cause I think way more than 30 folks should see it here. I'm gonna try it...who knows?

Do you have a formal list of what stations Exxon Mobil supplies their fuel to?

I always fill up at Shell, not sure who supplies the fuel.

Don't know. Here in Tx. seems like every gas station is filled by BP or Coastal
petroleum trucks.

I beat the "gas" prices every day. I drive diesel... budump bump chsss


Though honestly that is the only way to go in my mind. I just trippled my commute to a little over 2K miles a month and since I am not towing I drive a TDi now. Just cant beat 47 MPG.

Here we go again with the don't buy gas theory.

Here's my theory, they got it, you need it, buy it or walk.
No, I don't like it either. The only thing not buying gas on a certain day will do is let them get the stock built up.
I have heard of a certain power company that won't run their gas turbines when demand is high because the gas sells for more than the electricity produced does. A friend here at work drives oil and gas trucks on the weekends. One weekend a few months ago, he reported to the terminal to deliver a load and ended up being told to wash the trucks all day because the price will go up tonight. Just by not delivering the gas that day, the oil company made an extra million and a half dollars on the same tank of oil just by sitting on it overnight.
Now tell me your theory will work with this kind of stuff going on. Guess what, what you don't buy goes on the market to places that pay even more than we do.
So now, everyone buys cars that get 68 miles to the gallon. No problem, it still costs just as much to produce a gallon of gas so you think the price will come down then too? Yeah right.

Sorry, I just hate it when this don't buy topic comes up.

That's what I've been wondering about these hybrids all along. Say everyone had one (and they actually got the estimated MPG on the window sticker ) . The demand for fuel would go down, therefore the oil companies would start charging more per gallon. So what is the savings if you are getting 2x better mileage but paying 2x the cost of what fuel used to be

UH OH, there's somebody else out there that thinks like me. That could be a problem. I don't have a lot of wisdom for all of my years, I just look at things in a simple way. Wait a minute, did that come out right?

tmleadr03

Yet by this logic we should by high consumption vehicles? Eh, this helps my budget right now. Eventually its going to be biodiesel if I can find a station close enought to me.

hotdram

I never thought of it that way.
Yes, it helps you now, because not everyone drives a high mileage vehicle.
My thought was full of a bunch of "ifs" that are never going to really happen.

Hmmmm. I knew someone would get spun up. Just top show you, I drive this part time cause it gets me 44 MPG.

I'd have tried to photoshop the racing stripes off it before I put a link to that up.
