Gas Prices making Car Free easier
Well, gas prices, at least here in Canada are getting ridiculous.... The other day it hit $1.13/L here in Toronto, cheap compared to places like Montreal and Halifax, or how about Kelowna, BC where the lowest price posted in the last 60 hours was $1.239/L and most stations were $1.289/L or higher (that's $4.963 per US/Gallon), and this is for the cheap stuff.
People do not realise the power they actually have, we can set prices, simply, by putting a moratorium on using gasoline, if enough people stop driving, even temporarily, then it hurts the oil companies where it hurts them the most, the wallet. The profit on, $0 in sales is $0. People can bike, hike, roller-blade, skate-board, take transit, not bother for some trips at all, the idea is to not drive the car for a period of time, exceeding one day. I expect that 3 days would be sufficient to return prices to the 99c/L range.... As soon as prices start heading up again, you stop driving again, this tells the oil companies, that they can't push you around anymore....
