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 $1.16 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, the doesn't it make 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....  
 
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 Petro Canada UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO A REASONABLE PRICE AND KEEP THEM  
DOWN.
