Gas war starts May 1st

Booh, I have not been on this website for a while and it has all changed, not for the better I think. Anyway, here's an email I got that is very interesting to read although I do not share the opinions expressed in it. While I believe that gas companies get far too rich with their business I do not support the upkeep of the current driving habits of most Canadians.  Gas needs to be expensive to get people out of their cars and onto public transit, or our environment is going to choke in no time. But go ahead and find out for yourself what this is all about.  
 
GAS WAR STARTS MAY 1st

 
 THIS  IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT  WILL SHOW YOU HOW  WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO   $1.00 PER  LITRE. 

This  was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive.  It came from one of  his engineer buddies who retired from Haliburton.  If you are  tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this  summer, take time to read this  please. 

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!   It's worth your  consideration.  Join the resistance!!!!

I  hear we are going to hit close to $ 1.50 a litre by this summer and  it might go higher!!  Want gasoline prices to come  down? 

We  need to take some intelligent, united  action.   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 $.99 is super  cheap.  Me too!  It is currently $1.28 at SUNOCO and ESSO for regular unleaded in Hamilton and Ottawa and climbing every  week.

Now  that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to  think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $.87 to .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: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from  the two biggest companies (which now are  one),
 SUNOCO(PETRO CANADA) andESSO. 
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 SUNOCO(PETRO CANADA ) and  ESSO gas buyers.  It's really simple to do!  Now, don't  wimp out on me 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 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 group 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! 

How  long would all that take?  If each of us sends this e-mail out to  ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people  could conceivably be contacted within the next 8  days!
Acting together we can make a difference. 

If  this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.  I suggest  that we not buy from
 SUNOCO(PETRO CANADA)/ESSO UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE  $.99 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.  THIS CAN REALLY  WORK.  
REMEMBER – STARTING MAY 1st NO GAS FROMESSO / PETROCAN/ SUNOCO!
(why wait till then, get into the habit by starting now)
