Musky or Specks Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 It a small thing but if everyone did it I believe it would have some effect. I put only 10 bucks worth of gas in my vehicle at a time unless I'm going somewhere. Decreasing demand is the only way to hurt the oil companies.

mercman Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Living outside Quebec makes that very difficult... Plus, our gas prices here in Quebec are generally 5-10 cents a litre higher than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcanoe Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I fill my pickup every 2-2.5 weeks, 90ish liters or so, $1.35 here in London and $1.24 14 kms away in St.Thomas needless to say, I honestly can't remember the last time I filled my pick-up in London, I'm sure it's been more than 2 years probably closer to 3.... jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoz Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Sure . . . . convince yourself to buy a hybrid . . . . it runs on electricity for nearly 80 kilometers, THEN gas! Plus it costs anywhere from about $6000.00 more (Honda) to $12,000.00 more (Volt) to save from up to $250.00 to a max of $1000.00 a year on fuel costs? Or trade in your guzzler, at a cost of $10,000+ and save maybe $1200.00 to $1500.00+ a year on fuel. I'm gonna keep driving my Montana van, slower & a lot less, and save a few bucks. When I bought it new, (2008) it cost about $75.00 for a fill-up from near bone dry, yesterday . . . $117.00! P. S. Has ANYONE out there ever checked out the cost of the replacement and availability of the hybrid battery system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcanoe Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 if you want to send a message to the gas companies, don't waste your time, they won't listen and don't care. the only way a protest will work is in a small one station town, and here's what will happen, get the residents of the town together and organize your picket, stop buying gas from the station, and keep tourists/passerbys from doing the same for a few days or more. If you can manage not getting arrested long enough, the station will close down....YOU WIN!!!!!!!!! now you need to drive out of town for gas jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtess Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 My situation lately is going to reduce my fuel costs by about $120 per month. My '04 Buick LeSabre (24.2mpg calculated) was written off a couple weeks ago (not my fault yay!) so I bought a '11 Chevrolet Cruze with a manual shift (so far 32mpg average after 1500Km). I drive about 60,000Km per year so this will drop the costs. At the same time the company increased our mileage allowance by 5¢ per Km..... so its getting cheaper for me to drive even though the fuel prices are going up up up....

John Bacon Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Has ANYONE out there ever checked out the cost of the replacement and availability of the hybrid battery system? [/size] A colleague of mine was told that it would cost $7,000 to replace the battery in a Prius. I am not if she had accurate information or not.

Steve Piggott Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I switch my F150 over to propane Jan 2010 I have been saving 250.00 a month at .65cents for propane Best thing I've done.Cost to install $4500. $750.oo back from the government,$58.oo for 90 liter of propane,$117.00 for 90 liter of gas Even if propane goes up,it will be cheaper than gas.
