I didn’t realize this but these coupons are good for
onelitre of gas at most retailers. I have seen them
around lots but never knew what they were for.
You probably have one lying around somewhere now.
Make sure to use it before it expires!!
I got this in a forward today, and I had to share!

At last some news worth reporting! With gas prices high as a kite, and people having to sell the vehicles they can’t afford to fuel, this might be a breathe of fresh air finally…
“The next hybrid from Honda will be a dedicated model, and according to executive vice president Koichi Kondo, the hybrid unit inside it will cost about half as much to make as the current Civic system”-

Does this look like a familiar sight? It seems to be the going trend for trucks, and SUV’s, and even some cars these days…

With the astronomical rise of crude oil, and skyrocketing gas prices, it shouldn’t be much of a shock. What is astounding is the number of trucks, and suv’s for private sale lined up along the highway of the small BC interior town were we reside. It is truly amazing. It is not unusual to see a few vehicles here, or there for private sale, but I probably counted no less than 20 yesterday.
“Shares of General Motors Corp. tumbled to their lowest level in 33 years Monday while rival Ford Motor Co. fell to a three-month low on concerns about weak U.S. auto demand in June and the rest of the year.”-BNN
GM is putting product development on hold, while auto dealers put the brakes on truck, and suv trade-ins.
I am afraid that it doesn’t just stop with trucks, and suvs….Air Canada is preparing to lay off 2000 of its employees due to cutbacks, and 6 small airline companies have closed their doors related to the ever rising price of oil.
And if you thought you heard it all you have another thing coming!! The rise in oil, and gas has sparked a whole new line of thievery… used cooking oil! Because frying oil can be converted into bio-diesel it has become a hot commodity, and people are resorting into stealing it.
The world must be heading to hell in a hand basket if people are resorting to stealing used cooking oil to make bio-fuel.
What is next? We will just have to wait, and see, and I am waiting with baited breath…
