GAS WAR STARTS NOW!!!!!!!!

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 OR LESS!

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...

I have posted this a bunch, but very few of the pro boycotters ever pick up on this simple concept. The e-mail says he learned this from a retired Coke executive and therein lies the rub. If Coke is succesfully boycotted they can't take all their unsold coke and sell it to Pepsi to be remarketed as Pepsi.(it has a noticable taste difference) If Esso or Sunoco can't sell gasoline to their retailers then they just sell it to Shell, or Husky, or any other brand that is picking up all the business that Esso and Sunoco lost. Gas is gas is gas, and it all tastes the same. If sales increased so dramatically at other brands because the boycotte was succesful then the other brands would not be ready for the increased business and have to scramble to find the gas they needed. They would just buy it wholesale from Esso and Sunoco. Esso and Sunoco would still be selling at the same price and making more money because they would not have to deal with all the individual retailers. Net effect of your boycotte? Less consumer choice and the two guys you were looking to spank make more money. Great plan!

Michael gave him a link to snopes to show his "idea" could not work...and suggested using the site to post prices would be an effective way to help people lower their fuel costs. Gas_Buddy gave him some economic facts about cost shopping and the world market for oil. Rumble pointed out that the company eagles suggested a retail boycott against does not own any retail outlets, kinda making it tough to boycott. All in all, some very intelligent feedback. Unfortunately, no one just agreed with him, so he took his ball and went home.

I thought that by comng to this forum I would get some intelligent feedback on how to get the major oil companies to lower gas prices. Instead, I see that it is mostly individuals like you who can't seem to bend over enough for these companies. Now we're getting preached on ECONOMICS from a country that is in total disarray. You keep bending over, drive your car less and see where that gets you. Sure you'll pay less for gas but the major oil companies will continue to rack in billions of dollars a year. It appears that you have been on this forum for 10 YEARS. I've been on it for two days and totally understand the concept. It's just another social utility (similar to facebook, skype) both which I hate with a passion. Do something more productive with your life. Want to pay less for gas....buy a bike, take the bus, walk. It's that simple.

This is my last reply to thise thread. Like I said, the crap you posted was SPAM many years ago, it is still SPAM, and it was proved wrong, unworkable, and economically impossible many years ago. You want to targe ESSO? The simplest of research would have shown you ESSO doesn't own a single service station in Canada, they are all franchises. So you would wage economic warfare upon your friends, neighbours, and family who have their life savings invested in their businesses. And ESSO wouldn't notice because the dollar just shuffle around the block, meaning, the gas you don't buy at an ESSO station you will buy at a Shell station, or a Safeway gas bar, or any of a number of other outlets the fuel would be delivered to instead. And a high percentage of Petro-Canada stations are franchises as well. And once a few business owners are out of business, their employees out of jobs, there will be less competition so the prices will go up. Grade 3 economics, don't take my word for it, go to the library and do some research if you don't trust the internet. And go post some gas prices, the whole idea of this website is to let Big Oil know we are paying attention and letting our fellow motorists know which stations have better prices on any given day.

And remember, it's not just automobiles that consume gas. If your answer is to sit back and rely on the EUROPEAN/ASIAN markets to dictate the prices in North America, we'll all be long dead along with our children and grandchildren before we see a drop in oil prices.

It's not that you're a rookie that posted the spam; it's that you posted spam. The comments against the spam, and this spam specifically would have been written (and have in other threads) if you were a long time member. Posting obvious spam, and this specific spam which has been been posted on this website multiple times in multiple threads, isn't the best way to get the message across period. "I was under the impression that this way the reason for this forum." I'm not sure what you mean by that. Posting your comments and your thoughts or your opinions is the reason for this forum. So you can express your views, pro or con, responding to comments of others pro or con. But the forum isn't for posting spam and then expecting people to comment on what your intent was. "But I'm just as sick to hear those individuals that preach we just need to moderate our consumption or drive the extra 10 minutes to save 5 cents/litre or whatever the conversion is in the US (gallons)." Most long time members, as do the Gas Buddy moderators, will repeat one thing over and over...and over. Do not drive unnecessarily out of your way to buy gas at a lower price. First, you're wasting gas, meaning that mroe gas needs to be refined simply to make up for used gas. Second, most people end up spending more money on the gas they're using to get to the lower priced station than they save at the pump. Third, most people don't realize that driving any distance - any distance - out of the way, uses gas, and it costs money to drive; if, for example, you get 20 miles to the gallon, and gas costs $3.60 a gallon, it costs 18 cents for each mile driven, regardless of what the reason for driving. We constaantly and consistently tell people not to drive out of the way for cheaper gas. Especially if they're only going to save a couple cens per gallon for maybe a 10 or 15 gallon fill-up. That 20 or 30 cents savings on a fill-up, a $40 fill-up, isn't worth a considerable effort, especially when the same people complaining about the several cents per gallon aren't saying anything about what they pay for their cell phone or texting plan, their cable TV plan with all the movie and sports packages, or their daily coffees and bottled water.As for "By consuming less gas, won't bring the prices down, there will just be a day where the consumer won't be able to afford to use his/her vehicle." I disagree. From the production end, and the investment end (be it stock market, investors, or speculators), people at the upsteram end will essentially lower prices or accept lower returns if people buy less. The selling market prices will adapt to world demand. What you're not talking about, or haven't mentioned, is that the world demand isn't lessening as much as the U.S. demand might be, and you haven't addressed growing economies or growing middle classes in places such as Brazil, India, China. Until you address world demand, you're leaving out a large part of the consumption problem. And that's not a rookie problem. It's simply what you wrote and posted. Or what you cut and pasted as your post, without your personal comments and/or perspective and/or opinions.

We all hate SPAM email almost as much as high gas prices. But I'm just as sick to hear those individuals that preach we just need to moderate our consumption or drive the extra 10 minutes to save 5 cents/litre or whatever the conversion is in the US (gallons). Until there are alternative modes of transportation that meet the peoples' needs, we all need to commute, whether it be for work and/or pleasure. By consuming less gas, won't bring the prices down, there will just be a day where the consumer won't be able to afford to use his/her vehicle.

You simply posted some old, worn out blather about boycotting a couple of brands of gasoline without any mention of reducing consumption. "The gas companies/government have all the power, it is time for the consumer to take some of this power back." Yes, too bad there isn't some website where we, the people, can find the lowest gas prices in our areas so that we can take some of this power back by making informed decisions. Oh, wait, there is.

I have not idea, eagles07, if you got this from an e-mail or you read it in another thread, but it's been posted nearly word for word in at least a two dozen different threads, maybe more. Unless you yourself are saying that you know the person who sent it to you is, in fat, a retired Coca Cola executive, virtually no one believes there this material was ever sent by any Coca Cola executive, retired or otherwise, nor is there any "engineer buddy" who thought it up, let alone one from Haliburton. What's so funny about this thread that started, is that your wording makes it seem like you're yourself are writing the introduction (the "THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS...This was sent by a...It came from one of..." when in fact that's the same wording that others have used, pretending (my word) that they got this from a retired Coca Cola executive. If there ever was such a retired Coca Cola executive, he's got an awful lot of friends he sent this to that are members of Gas Buddy, most of who post their first or one of their first posts with identical wording as his other "friends" who are Gas Buddy members. The bottom line? What you're posting is the same crap (my word) many others have posted on Gas Buddy, and in other forum. Hopefully you'll do something more productive as a Gas Buddy member than posting things without first checking its validity. Perhaps even posting gas prices, which is something productive in providing information to help your Ottawa Gas Buddy members be smarter shoppers, and perhaps help save them money when shopping, regardless of what gas prices are.

I've read numerous articles that have stated that it is simply about consumer demand and if we just purchase less gas then the price should adjust accordingly. HELLO PEOPLE, passenger vehicles in the US alone have increased steadily since 1960, indicating a growing number of vehicles per capita. Go ahead and adjust your fuel consumption, it will be simply be replaced by one of the hundreds of thousands of new passenger vehicles that hit the road each year. We need to find a solution fast before prices get out of control.
