    but the prob is.. i dunno if they will sponsor a car forum that has cars that don't use 94ultra. Since us normal Mazda3 people.. we don't use 94 ultra.
    I'm one of you normal mazda3 people and I run 94 with my tune.

    Yah, that's what I was trying to say. Sorry, my typing in coherent sentences isn't so good when flipping screens between work and the forum.. lol. That's basically the downfall of that idea. lol

    Back on topic though,
    Have you had a chance to read up much on what to do or how to go about pursuing this sponsorship?

    There is no cost for TM3...I wouldn't ask TM3 to pay for my gas...though that could be a brilliant idea...lol...

    I believe we basically have to make a case as to why it benefits Ultra94 to partner with us...they get traffic and exposure, we get chance for cheaper gas.

    wtf happened to this thread?

    with respect to boycotting a gas station and going to the smaller ones, the smaller ones get their gas from one of the big ones so there's no "boycotting" going on. In ontario, there's only Petro (Suncor), Esso and Shell that now control the distribution centres.

    as for using only shell and boycotting Esso and Petro, look up Shell's parent company Royal Dutch Shell and their involvement with pipelines in africa ...

    You guys are aware that all gas in Ontario come from 1 of 4 refineries right? Smaller gas stations still buy their gas from the big guys.

    Actually the best way we can affect prices is to only by gas from one of the large suppliers. If everyone only bought say, Shell gas, it would force the other companies to lower the price in order to attract customers. If everyone then switches to the company with the lowest cost we (the consumer) could for the industry to be price competitive again.

    I'm not suggesting that TM3 could achieve this…would have to be a large scale movement. Still would be nice to see.

    Either way...I'm interested.

    Hey, I thought we were partners in this!? lol

    Since the official date of closing to participate is over, I guess we'd need a little more research to get the contact information of the appropriate people. I haven't fully read the TSC page yet as well.

    I wonder, if we get sponsorship, if it would be limited to Mazda/Mazda3 drivers only. since this is a Mazda forum. I don't frequent Audi forums cause people are just not as cool.. lol. Really, it's just not as active.

    I think if we're interested, and the powers that be are on board, I can personally approach TSC's head dude and get an audience with the Ultra94 ppl. At the end of the day, it's about beuilding mutually beneficial relationships.

    I think all members who contribute to TM3 should be eligible for perks...assuming you don't post-whore your way to relevance.

    I'd like to switch back to Ultra 94 if this happens. But *only* if this happens.

    I would be fine with it. I'm always on board with obtaining anything that will help the club and it's members.

    Run this past Ami first though V just to make sure all of the details are good.

    Thank you for the blessings...apparently SPDA-Online (the OTHER Subie forum) is also sponsored...I know their head cheese, who's a big online marketer. Once they give me something to work with, I'll make the connection between them and yourself.

    I saw that thead in TSC too, but I beleive not all members are getting the deal...they have to attend events and win to get it. Not like I'm a TSC member, give me the 20c off gas card.

    Why people think boycotting is useful. Unless you make like a significant # of people doing the same, there won't be any impact to them.

    This is definitely a great a idea. Like Vince said, this is a mutually beneficial relationship for both sides of the parties. There is no point in boycotting anything because lets face it, although our community is probably one of the largest and busiest out there, we are still only a tiny fraction of the population.

    I see no harm in attempting to establish something were it is bi-winning

    Kk.. I think any sponsorship that promotes benefit to the club is good...

    so what do you need from the members to get this?

    is OP working on the app?

    Let's stop arguing about gas prices,gas stations, octane and get this sponsorship for the club.

    It's in progress. OP is talking to the other clubs that are sponsored, will get details, then we will evaluate how to move forward. Patience, this will take some time.
