If everybody for an entire week did that, MAYBE the oil companies would
choke on thier own product, but I doubt it.

And, given the choice of sticking it to the oil companies and walking, or
getting on with my life, I can tell you I ain't walkin' anywhere.

Sheesh Snow! That's $3.2135 per gallon if my math is right. Of course, those
are American dollars, and your Canadian version is only worth about $0.75,
but that still works out to California pricing of $2.41.

As others have noted, if folks in the U.S. think gas prices are high, they
just need to travel some more. Not that I'm in favor of increased prices
but check the prices in England or Germany.

This won't help for you folks on the other side of the pond, but for the US
and Canada, this site is useful. http://www.gasbuddy.com/

Feel I should add something. Don't sign up for those "free gas coupons"
unless you like spam and scams. Just reading the terms and conditions on
one of those nearly put me off my scotch.
