No, it won't work...
But here is a little more light to shed on the subject.
It is from my favorite website, http://boortz.com
Yesterday's news, go down to the part about "Oh, those terrible gas prices"

Having some control over gas prices...
I hear we are going to hit close to $1.00 a litre by the summer. 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 69.9 cents a litre is super cheap. Me too! It is currently
76.9 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the
OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a Litre of gas is
CHEAP at 69.9, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS
control the marketplace....n!
ot 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 PETRO CANADA & SHELL). 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 millions of Shell and Petro Canada gas buyers. It's really
simple to do!! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and
I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people! I am sending this
note t!
o about thirty people. If each of you sends it to at least ten more (
ast 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. That's all. 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 AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK. YOU KNOW
THEY LOVE HOLIDAYS AND SUMMER TRAVELERS.
