| Gas Prices pictures - [ At most gas stations across the US, gas prices dropped the lowest since March. Gas prices followed the oil prices which dropped below $66 a barrel on Monday. Exxon Mobil, Shell, Texaco and other "gasoline" companies voiced their concern about declines of their profits and their stock prices. ]
I have designed a perfect strategy for Exxon Mobil bosses. How about when the gas goes up to $4 you pretend it's just a normal market trend, and when the gas prices drop to $2.65 you start whining like you lost your lollipops? It looks like I am a little late though, because that's exactly how Exxon Mobil strategists advised their bosses to act. Exxon Mobil made over 13 billion (with B) last quarter, and was this close to changing its name to 'Bend Over, America'. But now they are acting like if gas prices drop further we'll soon see street bums with signs
"Former Exxon CEO. Need money for hooker and gas".
In this contest you are asked to predict whether the gas prices will continue dropping or will rise again, and show how gas stations will adjust their services accordingly. If gasoline prices hit zero, will gas stations offer free gas? If they skyrocket, will gas pumps be changed for more precise devices? You are free to show pretty much any changes you envision, as long as they are directly connected to gas stations. (E.g. chopping a horse pulling a car as alternative means of transportation is not an acceptable entry in this contest, as it is not directly related to gas stations).
