CONTROLING PETROL PRICES!
See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it
We are hitting ? 106.9 a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced
with paying ?1:10 a ltr. 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 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 wimp out 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 i t 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 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
10 PEOPLE? - EASY!!! - PASS IT ON AND DO IT

not being funny but it does'nt make any difference what so ever were ever you buy your fuel a huge amount of what you pay goes to the government yes oil firms are making profit but not as much per litre as you think.
theres a thread on here somewhere that will explain it for you.

Get Gordon Clown out of office get rid of Red Ken from his glass gherkin, get rid of that facist Darling and get some decnt leadership in the country

War is probably the biggest cost to the Government, and guess what its funding comes from taxes! So prob not the best idea. Unfortunately, the only real way to solve this is to use less fuel.

We should take a leaf from Bert here.. Get your MK1 on Veggie oil…
I run my van on veggie oil/Derv as mix, so what i save on fuel costs there, i make up for in the GTI..
Even tho thats now being slated as the demand for veggie oil has gone up, people are starving because fields are being used for that instead of food or trees etc..

They make bugger all profit on petrol so if we boycott the things from there we don't need it puts pressure on the petrol companies.

its a sign of greed on the powers that govern, anyone seen a poor politician lately? no………the longer people accept getting fleeced the more they will creep the prices up and fleece us more.
IF everyone bought petrol from 1 particular garage for 3 months then hurting the garages will have a knock on effect hurting the suppliers in hurting the volume purchased by the other petrol stations
Im afraid that Britain no longer controls its destiny.they have sold out all the major industries to foreign shores in the name of cheap labour and production facilities……….we dont get the benifit as the extra profit is all kept by the producers to line their own pocket! Indian call centres are the tip of the ice berg!!!!!!!!!!

The strikes last time had a bit of an effect, but only for a couple of days..
imagine if the strikes went on and on and everyone stuck to their guns about it..
the economy would start to fail (more so than it is now) and yes we would be hurting ourselves but the government would be forced to react
Ok we'd probably all end up loosing our jobs etc, but something has to be done.. I dont want to go out and get a newer car that does better MPG..

keep feeding the car with veg oil that will do the trickLawsy said
Dont think anything we could do would make a difference, unless everyone in the country united (but that would never happen)

I personally couldnt agree more…thats why i`m selling up and leaving!
The Europeans dont put up with any of this crap,especially the French or Germans who pay peanuts for housing etc compared to us plus their countryside is spotless,not like the rubbish infested place we call home.
I am sick and tired of hearing minted Politicians say its all for our benefit when the service you get here is third world yet we are fleeced for EVERYTHING.
Until people STOP voting for the same crappy parties its never going to change.
keep on keeping on

we pay a fuel duty TAX, along with the cost of the fuel, and then added to that sub total we pay VAT!!! so on fuel we are taxed twice!!!!!!!!!
I hate to say it but i would even consider living in france, as petrols not too bad and diesel gets a tax brake as it costs less to make and uses less energy to make it, and its cleaner,
