Unless you live in Lethbridge, Alberta and there is one gas station for every other person living in the city… ;)

One city with population about 300.000 can have about 50 gas stations so all you need is 2 or more persons per station and it’s all done.</p> ]]> This will never work because one cannot convince every single one in the world to do as he says. But if one can find committed followers — say only 100 out of 1 million — then block every gas station in the city and not let any one use it, they can achieve 100% don’t buy gas result. One city with population about 300.000 can have about 50 gas stations so all you need is 2 or more persons per station and it’s all done.

After an hour of biking, I’d need a shower for sure.

…not to mention an oxygen tent and a nurse.

Granted, the Lower Mainland can sustain an intra-city transit system.

Biking is feasible for you, rick. I’ve known people who bike between Magrath and Lethbridge in an hour.

All those present problems for someone who lives out of the city where they work…

Oh well, guess I’ll be a slave to the oil companies.

There would not be a huge demand because the gas would be bought all through the month of June.

Precisely why there would be a hug demand. Buying an extra 100–200 gallons in June would be a huge spike in demand. This in turn would be what would cause the price of gas to spike.
