The oil companies seem to be hellbent to bring and keep European gasoline costs to Canada. I really don't believe that much can be done to change the current situation once they established their death grip on $1.00+ gas.

I am in still in the process of fixing up my old Geo Metro (3-cylinder, 993 ccm engine) and getting rid of my Jimmy ASAP. When I don't average $10/day in gas, I will be making a much bigger statement than boycotting them for a day.

Interesting facts on my car switch from the US Dep. of Energy (I know their estimates are not always too accurate):

-I would save over US $1400 in gas annually
-I would cut my greenhouse emissions in half
-I would cut my petroleum consumption by 10.8 barrels
