Where are THEY now???
Where are those kind hearted gas station owners who used to have those special $1 for a gallon days once a month or so???
Prices have gone WAY f'in beyond those days, where are they now???
Weak sauce. sjt = bitter. Having to resort to going to Arco now cuz $2.49 a gallon is just f'in WRONG!

How can SUV owners bear this?? i mean, they must be paying $100 a tank, and paying that every week if not more frequent!

Find out if you have a Costco or Safeway that has a built-in gas station...
Here in Dublin, Safeway is $2.15 for 91, and the Costcos are about as cheap.
All you need is Costco/Safeway card...

Which Costcos in the East Bay has a gas station? I have a card and I barely use it anymore, but I'd like to put it into good use.

Check prices here:

Also, I don't typically go for this type of thing, but it sounds like a good idea to me:

Join the resistance!!!!
We are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. Do you want
gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united
action.
Phillip Hollsworth, offered this good idea:
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day"
campaign that was going around last April or May!
The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't
continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It! was more of an
inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of
this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.
Please read it and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is
super cheap. It is currently $1.97 for regular unleaded.
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think
that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50-$1.75, we need to take
aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace....not
the sellers.
With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take
action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we
hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And we can do
that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we
CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price
war.
**************************************************
Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest
companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any
gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their
prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
**************************************************
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally million! s of Exxon
and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, at this point ... keep
reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions
of people!!
I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at
least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten
more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the
sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION
consumers!
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each,
then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level
further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again, all you
have to do is send this to 10 people and DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from
EXXON and MOBIL. That's all.
If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do
is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a
mathematician. But I am ... so trust me on this one.
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more
people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably
be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't think you and I
had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP
THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK
