We are hitting £145.9 a litre in some areas now and soon we will be
faced with paying £1.50 per litre. So 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, we need to take aggressive
action to teach them that BUYERS - not sellers control the market
place. 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) i.e. 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 all 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!!! 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 It’s easy to make this
happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at
Asda,Morrisons, Tesco,Shell,Texaco etc. i.e. Boycott BP and Esso

Maybe we (truck drivers) could use more bunkers than actual
BP/ESSO stations.

I will be honest im not to clued up on how bunkers work but at
for filling the cars at least it sounds like a good idea. :sunglasses:

Erm its the goverment who make the fuel so expensive, its 2/3 tax.
