GAS PRICES

Ya basically that which goes into my diesel truck I could darn near drive up to an oil Derek and say "fill er up" and I'm 28 cents more. Perfect. That is so the long hauler trucks pay more. You and me pay more for what we need to live and on and on the cycle of rich getting richer is perpetuated

$1.14 earlier this week in Sudbury. 20 cent difference between Sudbury and North Bay. The Bay has 1/4 the population, but cheaper gas? Explain...

What does population have to do with gas price?

Anywho, gas is 99.9 here in Muskoka

Higher the prices the more $$ the government will make.

All they will say to us is "Don't like the price? Don't buy it"

I agree with you but if we all get together and don't purchase any gas for one week, what do you think will come of it ?
I know its a hard thing to do.

The oil companies know that within 2-3 days most who need a car to get to work would have no choice but to buy gas. It would be far more effective to completely boycott just one oil company. Shut down all buying at Shell or Petro for 30 days and watch prices tumble.

The above most likely would be more effective, [pick a company and boycott it for a month, then another and another till we go through all of them .]

Ok starting right now I will not get gas at Petro canada who's in shi t I will cut up my petro points card if we get 110 people to go for it





ill

I've seen that sent around by email, posted on bulletin boards, and Facebook for as long as there has been an Internet. Never worked before and never will.

I remember a big planned boycott about 16 years ago. I was working at the local Shell station at the time. Guess what...... busiest day the station had all year.

LSC is back at a 52 week low and gas is still over a buck. Blame it on the faceless, nameless refineries!
