I don't know the credibility on this post, but i'm willing to do anything to get gas prices to go down...this post basically says to boycott Petrocanada and SHell to lower the prices...give it a read:
"Dear friends & family,
I hear we are going to hit close to a $1.42 a Litre by
the summer. Want gasoline prices to come down? We need
to take some intelligent, united action. Phillip
Hollsworth, offered this good idea: This makes MUCH
MORE SENSE than the don't buy gas on a certain day
campaign that was going around last April or May! The
oil companies just laughed at that because they knew
we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to
buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it
was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this
idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.
Please read it and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at
about $.80 a litre is super cheap. Me too! It is
currently .78 to .89 depending on what day it is,for
regular unleaded gas in Montreal, PQ. We all know that
we're being screwed by the oil companies. Does
everyone remember how they drove up the prices way
past a dollar and got the gas prices to where they
wanted them, claiming there was a shortage of oil.
Well, there isn't any shortage now, and the oil is
more abundant than it was 35 years ago when the price
of a litre of gas was 29 cents!!!
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have
conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre of
gas is CHEAP at $0.78-$0.85, we need to take
aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control
the marketplace....not sellers. With the price of
gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to
take action. The only way we are going to see the
price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the
pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And we can do
that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How?
Since we all rely on our cars, we cant just stop
buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if
we all act together to force a price war.
Heres the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T
purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies
(which now are one), PETROCANADA, SHELL. If they are
not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce
their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other
companies will have to follow suit. But to have an
impact, we need to reach literally millions of
PETROCANADA and SHELL buyers. Its really simple to
do!! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep
reading and Ill explain how simple it is to reach
millions of people!!
I am sending this note to at least thirty people. If
each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =
300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more
(300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the
message reaches the sixth generation of people, we
will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If
those three million get excited and pass this on to
ten friends each, then 30 million people will have
been contacted! If it goes one level further, you
guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people.
That's all (If you don't understand how we can reach
300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10
people... Well, lets face it, you just aren't a
Mathematician. But I am. so trust me on this one.)
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this
email out to ten more people within one day of
receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be
contacted within the next 8 days!!! Ill bet you I
didn't think you and I had that much potential, did
you! Acting together we can make a difference. If this
makes sense to you, please pass this message on.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE
$0.64 OR LESS RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN
REALLY WORK!!!!!!! " |

if it ever comes to that (1.42$/L), people should just stop driving and using the ttc instead. but its crammed in those trains/buses already so that would def create a big problem huh :rolleyes:
so how does it make sense that gas prices go up instead of down if we're taking over iraq and their oil? :conf: |
