Perhaps if people actually made intelligent choices about the cars / trucks they drove the pain would not be so great. Your neighbour made a poor decision and now needs to pay that price.Kommander1975 said:It's going to be $1.93 a litre in Toronto on the weekend, that means that my neighbor's Chevy pick-up truck which takes 127 litres to fill will cost..... a whopping $247.06 to fill..... he can go 3 times back and forth from Toronto to Mississauga and will need another $247.06 fill-up...
that's great! That's what we get for being little pussies who never boycott the blood-sucking oil companies.
I already gave noticed to gave up my unit and move my office back home where i first started.Pleasing_Brian said:Ever stop to think that that's actually a good thing for the world?

Bang on...the Hamilton Spectator today reported that the whole gas increase frenzy which led to fist-fights (!!) at some gas stations is rumour driven. They report that some stations raised prices not because their corporations told them to, but to make more $ off the poor suckers in the line ups. According to the Competition Act, this is NOT illegal. However, if more than 1 station "colluded" in order to do so, it would be.tboy said:friggin people and their rumours, the only thing worse than starting a rumour is spreading one.
Don't you realize that everytime you repeat the rumour you give the oil companies that much more incentive to raise the prices?
Like if a rumour started that they were going to ban the selling and manufacture of condoms......(started by the latex industry).....what do you think that would do to the price of condoms?
BTW I heard a rumour that gas outside my home was being changed to $22.42 a litre and you'd have to pay a $10.00 cover fee to enter the gas station.....
