interesting concept.

I don't have a car hahah so I guess I'm already doing my part...?

   

i also do not have a car but it is the messege that matters

   

Hey I'm on board with that. I buy from FASGAS as it is. They produce it right here in Central AB.

Cheers

   

Ready for this!!!!.....$170 on Monday, apr. 18 to fuel my truck with approx. 198 liters..........bastards.

I got to Esso most of the time simply because I get a little discount fom them! But there still bastards too!

   

$170 for 198 liters is what I paid on the 18th of April.....

I don't goto Shell or Petro Can.

For a Country with the 3rd largest oil deposit in the world, why we pay so fucking much?

oops...D.P.

   

this is were the goverment should step in and just change the oil prices, im pretty sure they could, might not be legal but i dont thik the citizens would complain to much

   

That's insightful...

But a gas war would affect all the companies.

   

The E-mail is an internet myth.

Maybe www.snopes.com was paid by the oil companies to debunk the 'myth'.

   

Great. Another conspiracy theory in the making.

The plain logistics of organizing the protest is impossible to achieve.
