I Brake for Bean Counters

Let's face it,...we are hosed when it comes to the issue of fuel prices. There are too many forces aligned against us including;
*2600 energy mergers since 1996
*India's and China's increasing needs for oil
*Weak-Willed Democrats and Corporate Centric Republicans
*Lack of any plan to get off the dino-juice

However, if you would like to have at least the illusion of being an empowered consumer making free-will choices and impacting the market try this;
For the entire month follow this formula...
May don't buy any gas or oil from Exxon/Mobile
June don't buy any gas or oil from Shell
July don't buy any gas or oil from Arco
August don't buy any gas or oil from Chevron

It may not have any impact at all, but you'll wreak havoc on their cash flow processes and drive the bean counters crazy.

Of course, you will have to share this with about 75 million of your best friends.

Is it me, or did we lose alot of our good thinking time now that it takes less time to put $20 in the tank,...I try to leverage free time anywhere I can find it. That fuel meter sure spins alot faster than it used to.
