FYI (Copied and Pasted from US site)
Tired of high gas prices? Feel like there is nothing the average joe/jane
can do? READ THIS!
LET'S DO IT!
IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE
UNITED STATES/CANADA
DID NOTPURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THESAME TIME, THE OILCOMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.
AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS, AT LEAST, WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES.
THEREFORE MAY 19TH HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT TO THEM" DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF GASOLINE THATDAY.
THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.
WAITING ON THIS ADMIINSTRATION TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?
REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF GASOLINE GOING UP BUT AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH EFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING MATERIALS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY, WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
SO DO YOUR PART AND THE WORD TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE MAY 19TH A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES/CANADA SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"!!!

So I heard people wanna boycott Petro Canada & Shell stations as they're the 'big' ones. If that happens they'll be forced to lower their prices. But like I said in the other thread nobody will do it. Cuz the people that are rich or just dont care just do it anyway. And you can't cut out a neccessity

No they wont, becouse they need to get rid of stock this way, you cant make a price higher on old stock.... Think about it, all the trucks with all the gas in there tanks cant drop the gas off, think about how much big containers of gas will be full... it could and it could not...

umm, the US has almost NO stockpiles right now, that's why prices are so high. It'd take months to overload their available storage, this is a BS spam mail that circulates every year in some form or another.
we can make a difference, but by lobbying for change, and driving much less.

whether it's guaranteed to work or not, who really cares, it can't hurt to try. So why not, i'll make sur i don't fill up on friday errr whatever day that was, i'll have to look again, i thought it was the 19th (turns out the 19th is not a friday)
that being said that is the first and probably one of the only types of messages that could be considered spam that i forwarded in my email. Like i said, we got nothing to lose!
