This sounds like it's worth a try!

 

Petrol Prices

 

See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it….

 

We are hitting 95p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced

with paying £1 a litre!!!!

 

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, we need to take aggressive

action to teach them that BUYERS control the market place 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

xplain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to a lot of 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 message out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300

MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8days!!!

Acting together we can make a difference.

 

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

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

petrol at Shell, Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons Jet etc. i.e.

boycott BP and Esso

My family have already boycotted BP....they are the only petrol station in my town,

 

But there are 2 shell stations within 4miles of it.

 

Plus the BP is not 24hours and is always 1p dearer........

 

Good luck in the fight!!

We are hitting 95p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced

with paying £1 a litre!!!!

 

Im already paying that...... Shell V Power is like 101p :D

Filled the tank with super for 99.9p yesterday. What do you reckon to that bargain hunters?!

Oh dear. Another myth. If you stop buying petrol from Esso / BP, there will be a lot more demand for petrol from Shell, Total, every other b*gger. And what do you think they will do when demand shoots up? Yes, that's right, put the price up. That's what's called capitalism.

if a litre of petrol cost 90p it would be broken down like this.

product 23.2p

retailer 6.3p (including delivery to the forecourt)

duty 47.1p

v.a.t 13.4p

so the tax man gets 60.5p out of every 90p litre.

 

We are the second highest in europe at the moment only behind the netherlands who pay 100.3p a litre.

Big surprise that the u.s.a is the cheapest at 37.5p

I work next to Grangemouth oil refinery, the tanker terminal here is owned and run by BP although the refinery is owned by Ineos (bought from BP about 18 months ago). On a daily basis just about every petrol suppliers tankers can be seen leaving from here, so it does not matter where you buy your petrol from as it all comes from the same local refinery!

Now I'm very cynical as you know......

 

......but I think Gio has a point there ;)

^^^^ there speaks an accountant :D

 

(Although if you laid all the economists in the world end-to-end, they wouldn't reach a conclusion. :D

And for old times' sake, if you laid all the female students at Surrey University end-to-end, nobody would be a bit surprised :rofl: ah, happy days...)

The only way to make it work is not use yor car for a day. Thus making petrol consumption go down.

 

Use public transport or book a day off. If we all do it on the same day imagine the tax the goverment will loose because lets face it that is where most of the price comes from.

 

The country would come to a standstill as the public transport system would not be able to cope. We have 1 bus an hour through the village so if everyone in the village tried to use it there would be a big que all day.

 

Just my 2 pennies worth.

PS have a look at the link on the bottom of my sig for the best deals on petrol.

Filled the tank with super for 99.9p yesterday. What do you reckon to that bargain hunters?!

 

whos super tho?!

i dint give a shit, i need it, i want it, im going to pay what the fook ever to get, unless everyone around the country stopped buying petrol then fook all is gong to change

............... if you laid all the female students at Surrey University .................ah, happy days...)

 

Now there's a challenge........ ;)

I work next to Grangemouth oil refinery, the tanker terminal here is owned and run by BP although the refinery is owned by Ineos (bought from BP about 18 months ago). On a daily basis just about every petrol suppliers tankers can be seen leaving from here, so it does not matter where you buy your petrol from as it all comes from the same local refinery!

 

 

And I used to fix those tankers :D

 

As already said, the oil companies aint the cause of the high prices, its the fookin rip off government, they take by far the biggest cut from the cost of fuel without any of the overheads. then they have the cheek to try and blame the companies.

 

robbing barstewards!

Exactly..this quote is right on the money...Also, who do we think extracts the black stuff out of the North Sea even if they are selling refinerys?!!...They'll also have shares in shipping companies bringing in the imports too...
