Actually I used to do this, and it was a great way to expend energy. I hated sitting at a desk all day, so the exercise before and after was a welcome change. Obviously in the winter I could not do it, and had to take the bus:( |

I have to put premium in my car and I never complain. You like driving your car, you gotta pay for gas.

haha, well done!
a woman in my office said the same thing..."instead of crying about gas prices, just invest in the energy sector...my portfolio has blown up!" :D
(agreed on public transit though...while I'm a driving enthusiast, to say the least, I rarely regret ditching my car 3 years ago) |

WAR ON GAS!!!!
This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It's worthy of our consideration.
Join the resistance! I hear we are going to hit close to $1.50 a litre by summer and it might possibly go higher! 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 earlier! 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 on and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $.79/litre is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.10 for regular unleaded in my town. 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 $.79 - $.99, 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 can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea:
Starting June 1 of 2007 DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the biggest Company in Canada. Petro Canada ! If they are not selling any gas, they will be very quickly inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. Think about
this. Petro Canada has 1500 retail locations and the entire country consumes 68 million gallons a day. Yes per day. And Petro Canada is Canada's largest gasoline retailer it makes sense that the consumer can bring this giant to its knees and force them to lower their prices. But to have an
impact, we need to reach literally millions of Petro Canada gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people. I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends 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 group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION
consumers. If those three million pass it on to ten friends each, then 30 million people!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. |

| I am sorry, but I am tired of seeing people on the "news" complaining about how much gas is and how much it sucks and how we are getting screwed. If you drive a car that has an engine displacement greater than 2.0L then I have absolutely no sypathy for you whatsoever. Its your own damn fault for buying that 6 cylinder version when a 4 cylinder was available and quite adequate for anyones needs. Its your own fault you wanted to drive a SUV or Truck. You knew what you were buying was going to be hard on gas and you knew you were going to get it up the ass....so TAKE IT LIKE A MAN! |

Suckers, I spend $30 a month on public transit. I live on Lakeshore and study in downtown.
How much is your average car bill a month? Payments, insurance, maintenance, parking etc.? I bet its at least $500 all together.
So you keep working, so you can pay for your car, ha ha ha. |
