Hiya Shawn ....

  Just got off your BBS a few moments ago with my daily digest
of QWKmail.

 -=> Quoting Shawn Highfield to Peter Coggon <=-

 -> GAS here in Ontario Canada..yesterday was $ 1.24 /litre  NOW
 -> today $ 1.35 /litre.

 SH> Isn't that a kick in the head?

This morning at the local $ 1.30:9   ...speculators they say
but it has been predicted the gas will go higher
 
 -> The GM Truck plant in Oshawa Ontario is closing... but
 -> meanwhile..in Alliston Ontario the Honda plant is 
 -> expanding.

 SH> People don't want to deal with filling those trucks with gas which
 SH> is why the Honda plant is expanding.  I have hopes that some of the GM
 SH> guys will be able to get a job with Honda...  I'm from Oshawa (Just
 SH> moved to Toronto in April) so it's something close here.

Funny thing Shawn...Most of those complaining bellachers all drive
these oversized-they-don't-really-need-them vehicles.  Most on the
highways are speeding, with the accidents seen as well radar traps
and they complain high ...too much to fill the tank.

Easy ...slowdown drive at the limit and relax ...then consider
if they need to save more...buy the small car...easy.

As for Oshawa GM closures.   BUZZ should remember the state of
the art plant in Scarborough that GM closed.   Honda and others
are listening to what is happening around them ... thats why
they are ahead and Detroit has it's head stuck in the sand.
 
ttfn
