... still fall short.

Here is the scenario. 300 million are reached and start to act. Shell and Gulf are at $3.25. Exxon/Mobil start to drop their prices. NOBODY is going to continue to pay $3.25 once E/M get below $3. Folks will start to go back to E/M to save the .25. Shell and Gulf may even drop to match, but the whole process is started over again. Prices will not drop that far. And what incentive do S/G have to drop their prices to match E/M if NOBODY is buying E/M in protest? NONE. They are still selling at the high price, but now sellling MORE because of the E/M boycott.

I am NOT a mathemetician, but even I could see the glaring loopholes in this scenario.

Now Maverick is a mathemetician. Am I right?
