Subject: APRIL 30TH GREAT GAS OUT, finally revenge on gas prices!!


Pass this on to as many people (in Canada) as you can. Read this, I think
it's a great idea, if it will work! The main idea is as you are
wondering...NO ONE FILL UP WITH GAS ON THE 30th of APRIL!!!
It's time we did something about the price of gasoline! We are all sick
and tired of high prices when there are literally millions of gallons in
storage.
Know what I found out? If there was just ONE day when no one purchased
any
gasoline, prices would drop drastically. The so-called oil cartel has
decided to slow production by some 2 million barrels per day to drive up
the price. I have decided to see how many people we can get to NOT BUY
ANY
GASOLINE on one particular day!
Let's have a GAS OUT! Do not buy any gasoline on APRIL 30, 1999!!!!!
Buy on Thursday before, or Saturday after. Do not buy any gasoline on
FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1999.
Wanna help? Send this message to everyone you know. Ask them to do the
same. All we need is a few million to participate in order to make a
difference

program, like a souped up tutorial program. I could be wrong, but that's
what I'm thinking.
