[AT] Fwd: Want cheaper gas to keep the old iron running? Sorry, I forgot the attachment (see below)

[Dave Rotigel]

Boy-o-Boy John this really sounds like a good idea. I'm with you all the 
way on it! However, I've checked my 401K plan and a good amount of it is 
invested in EXXON/MOBIL. Can you please tell me what effect this will have 
on my 401K? Thanks!
