We are going to hit close to 89p a litre by the summer. Do you want petrol

prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action.

Philip Hollsworth offered this good idea:

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy petrol on a certain day"

campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just

laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by

refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a

problem for them.

BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really

work. Please read it and join in!

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to

think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP at 77p -80p, we need to take

aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace not

sellers. With

the price of petrol going up more each day, we consumers need to take

action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is

if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their Petrol!

And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. Here's the idea:

For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest

oil companies (which now are one), ESSO and BP. If they are not selling any

petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their

prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Esso and BP

petrol buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, don't whimp out on me at

this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach

millions of people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of you send it to at least ten

more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x

10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth

generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If

those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then

30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further,

you guessed

it... .. THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again,all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (And not

buy at ESSO/BP) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this

email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION

people could

conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't

think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can

make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message

on.

PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE 69p a LITRE RANGE

Action:

It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol

at Shell, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons (75p) Jet etc. i.e. boycott BP and

Esso.

its not the oil companies faults, its the government, best way to protest is at the ballot box in my opinion.

 

Having said that if petrol cost £2 a litre, we'd all still buy it and drive our zeds just as much!!!

oil companies also have a lot of clout in the goverment

Yep, it'll just be our kids in thread bare cloths and living of bread water and drinking meths, and we'll still be driving our zeds :cry:

Sounds like a bloody good idea to me, I am up for this!

 

The price of fuel is a fackin yoke!

53 bloody quid to fill the Z up today and the light had only just come on.

 

That's the only thing that I am looking forward to when I sell her - having some money left at the end of the month!

IT HAS A WARNING LIGHT? "never seen it"

I agree, the forecourts apparently only make about 1p a litre on everything they sell, most of the price per litre of fuel is f\/cking tax from our own government!

 

No wonder Labour has been pushing the image of Gordon Brown saying that he's going to ask Opec to increase production, LMFAO, because they know that if they can cover up another stealth tax increase by blaming it on the guys who pump and bottle the stuff they will pull the wool over our eyes! :(

 

Labour are at it again IMHO! Get them fookers out!!! ;)

Too right, its the f'kin old suited *****rs that have pushed it right up, pi55es me off, isnt fuel somet like 80% tax? Its a 'kin joke!

Sorry, realyl swearing tonight, must be fosters and the fuel prices thats doin it!!! ;)

It does take the p1ss that if the gorenment put an exta 4p duty on petrol it actually goes up 5p as they get another 1p in VAT ,FFS.

I know mate, I had to fill the Mister Two up with Optimax the other day and that was 88.9 but rest assured I felt comfort in the fact that to fill my tank up was only 34 squids! LMFAO...oh and that it's a proper two seater with a fraction of the weight ohhh and a litre short on the engine size and just a twin entry turbot as opposed to a twin tubby setup! LIFE is cruel to some people. LOL :)

I can remember when petrol was three & sixpence a gallon.I was working away and had'nt the cash on me as I had left it at the digs.Popped in for a shillings worth (5p) of fuel to get me back.In a Jaguar 4.2litre "E"Type,oh happy days. :dance: :dance: :dance:

When i started work at the garage when i was 17 it was 40p a litre, but having said that i got paid £3 an hour then!!!

All these taxes pi55 me off i also have a company car and petrol card so before i even earn any wages my tax code is £-3200?? wot the fook is all that about, i'm losing wot, personnel allowance is wot about £4000ish so i have to earn over 7 grand before i get any of it....bet two jags doesnt have to pay for petrol and i bet he doesnt get taxed on them.
