Boycott Esso Gasoline

                  By Ray Bristow and Dave Carlisl

We are looking for the people, and media of this Country to pick up on 
the idea of consumer action to regulate gasoline prices. By boycotting 
one company, Esso(Imperial Oil) until they reduce prices to under 54 
cents, we can control the prices that the governments don't seem to want 
to touch. We need the consumer to be informed that it can be done. TV and 
Radio can be the catylist to organize all of the contempt that the public 
has for these huge conglomerates that hold you and me hostage. Once Esso 
loses a few days worth of sales it won't take long for them to get the 
message. These gas prices are already affecting the price of delivering 
goods to businesses so you can expect higher prices for other consumer 
products in the near future. 

The trucking industry can organize one of the greatest effects on this
"out of control industry". If unions can march in Hamilton and Kitchener 
I think they can make a decision as to where they buy their gas. 

For this boycott to work we must all talk to our friends, family, and 
co-workers. Get them to see that, together we can make a difference. You 
can start by contacting Imperial Oil (Esso's parent company) and telling 
them that you are participating in the boycott. If you take your car to a 
Jiffy Lube type of garage for an oil change, they ask you what type of 
oil to use. Tell them not to use any Esso products, and tell them why. If 
you buy fuel oil from Esso, contact them and tell them that you will be 
seeking a different oil company, and tell them why. Contact your M.P.P. 
and tell him/her that you are fed up with the oil companies gouging 
consumers, and the Governments seeming approval of (by lack of action on 
Oil Companies unethical pricing policies) the oil industries.

This is an industry that freely admits pricing is dictated by demand, 
not, by fair prices based on production costs. They say that the current 
high gasoline prices are due to the cold winter and high demand for fuel 
oil. When the summer comes and we're paying .65 cents per Litre for gas, 
they'll tell us that it's because of the high demand for gasoline. Our 
Provincial, and, Federal governments have a basic conflict of interest 
when it comes to Oil Companies. They collect a huge percentage of taxes 
on every Litre of gas sold in this country, and, the higher the price, 
that much more revenue is generated. It is not in their best interests to 
regulate this Industry.

I have prepared a form that you can copy and insert your own Personal 
details. You can use this form to fax Imperial Oil. Let them know why you 
are boycotting their products, and asking them to be ethical in their 
pricing policies. Follow this link-
