This sounds great but it won't work for two reasons. One is the same amout of gas will still be being sold so EXXON and MOBIL will just sell their gas to the smaller companies. Which won't beable to keep up with the demand that is being placed on them by all the pople buying from them that were buying from EXXON and MOBIL. You may think they won't work togeather like this but they have been working together to keep the prices going up what makes you think they won't againto keep them that way.

As far as reaching 30,000,000 by the sixth generation of people this works great on paper. but in real life it dosn't quite work that way. First off you have to figure on poeple like me who just don't forward stuff like this. Pluss even assuming that ever one you send it to takes the time to make sure they aren't sending it to one of the ten that you did. You have to figure with friend quite often have the same group of friends that of the ten you send it to some of them are going to send it to the same people. So let crunch some numbers here lets just say 1 of every ten just don't forward it at all that 10% and 2 out of the ten end up being sent to some one as doubles thats 20% so 30% of is wasted. You may say well 30% of 9,000,000 but even thinking this way you've dropped it down to 21,000,000. But it dosn't work that way you lose 30% each generation.
((30x10=300)-30%=210) (30x10=300) loss of 90
((210x10=2100)-30%=1470) (300x10=3000) loss of 1530
((1470x10=14700)-30%=10290) (3000x10=30000) loss of 19710
((10290x10=102900)-30%=72030) (30000x10=300000) loss of 227970
((72030x10=720300)-30%=504210) (300000x10=3000000) loss of 2495790
((504210x10=5042100)-30%=3529470) (3000000x10=30000000) loss of 26470530

so insted of the 9,000,000 lose you have a 26,470,530 so don't beleave everything just because it looks good n paper.
