Default Re: No gas on May 15th ...

The majority of Fuel vendors are noe Corporate stores owned by the Oil Companies,at least here in Canada there are very few independents left. thes locations are also convenience stores,selling confections,lottery tickets and some staples. Who amongst us does not go into one of these stores after their $100.00 purchase of fuel and spend another $18.00 on average on lottery tickkets a pop and maybe a snack. This is where the Oil companies are making a huge margin.

SO HERE IS THE BOYCOTT PLAN!!!!

Stop making these purchases from these locations!! That will cut into their margin in a hurry. These are things you wont need the next day. Buy your lottery tickets at your independent corner store.
Dont buy snacks at all,you will feel better. Chevron Town Pantry charges $2.49 for a package of M&M Candies, local independent charges $1.99. compare everything and you will see the Gas Station/Convenience Store is 20 to 30% more.
Fuel is an escential, the other crap is not.

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENTS!

Why doesn't Walmart sell gas? Or do they? I dont see pumps at their locations in Canada. This is the company that will never be undersold.
