Most of you can remember when K-Mart and Sears were the leading retailers, then along came Sam Walton and he cut their prices and they all laugh, needless to say, Wal-Mart out took them all to become one of the largest retailers of all time.
So what I am getting at the four largest oil companies in the US is,
Exxon, Shell, Chevron and Conoco, what if everyone bought from say "Shell", i.e. and not the others, someone is going to have to lower their prices. It's called back in the old days "gas wars". But then again how can this get out to all of the citizens of the US, is the problem.
