It wouldn't work.  Who do you think the little guys buy their gas from?

To Pam Graham,

Any suggestions as to how we can lower gas prices?

We only have 2-3 Mobile stations in the whole county here, and Exxon/ Mobile is trying to sell their stations (or will be here soon anyways) because they are not making enough profit on them. Good idea on a whole though and hopefully something will work, and soon. 10 mpg at $4.12/gallon sucks :-(

I posted a reply earlier to your original post. This is an urban legend that has been discredited on snopes.com.

It would mane as much sense to say we could have milk at a dollar a gallon if everyone stopped buying milk from Wal-mart.

This is the same old recycled stuff from the 1970's, 1980's, 1990, etc.

Didn't work then, still doesn't work now.  Real demand reduction does work.  Real Supply increase does work

Perhaps a little supply improvement program, as declared here:

Drill here, Drill Now, Pay Less.

Its tuff to lower gas prices the best solution is buying gas efficient cars

I don't have the answer. I know we need to be less dependent on oil from other countries. I know the government is greedy and will not do what needs to be done in order to save us energy and money. Like find another source (perhaps water?). They are making too much money on oil to watch out for their citizens.
