Petrol Revolution
See what you think and email it on/post on other car forums 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
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 wimp 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 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 email out to ten more people within one day of receipt,
all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next
8days!!! 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
It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your
petrol at Shell, Asda,Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrison's Jet etc. i.e. boycott
BP and Esso.

I buy my petrol at Asda anyway, but the UK's prices on petrol are bloody insane compared to other countries around the globe.
