Not that it would work for long anyway. You might get most people to do it,
but as soon as their price drops below everyone else's price, you'd have a
stampede running to their pumps, you've saved, what, .10$ if you're lucky?
Market dynamics and mob mentality takes over. The Oil companies have us by
the short ones, and they know it. The price hike during the Katrina
disaster partially desensitized most people to $3.00/gal prices, and the oil
companies are capitalizing on that to push the prices back up into that
territory. They're not going to lower it willingly, and definitely not
without a fight.
I live in Indiana, and our gas prices fluctuate as much as .20 to .30 cents
a gallon from one day to the next. Up and down. The up is usually .02-.03
cents higher than the previous high, with the lows following suit. When the
price drops to the 'new' low, you say to yourself "Whew, that is a good buy,
it's .28 cents cheaper than yesterday." Not even considering that it might
be .10 cents higher than what you paid for it last week. Who says
psychology is not a part of big business?

Don't mean to squash the enthusiastic creativity here, but Ron was right
when he said this is a classic chain letter. See here if you care:

All,
Anyone know of a good location for hangaring an RV-4 in the D.C. area?
I need to find a place by this summer.
Thanks,
Rique J. Gwin
