Petrol Prices.....

[Sl!m]

Apparently we are going to hit close to $1.35 a litre by the winter.

If this happens the prices will flow on down to the price of every

thing we buy! 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.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned

us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP at .89 / .95 cents, 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, me

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: BP and Mobil). 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 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!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (and

not buy at BP and Mobil) 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 80 cents a

LITRE RANGE.

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

petrol at Shell, Caltex, GAS. or Gull Outlets and drive past BP and

MOBIL Stations.

um..this is pretty stupid this aint gonna happen.

its a great idea but wont work, people are to stupid

[eXc]

this goes around all the time. it wont work.

plus bp and mobil are the only ones worth running.

[boj01]

No chance of this working as there are too many consumers for this to work.

[silver gts-t]

it would only work if a radio or tv station got behind it

and due the power oil companies have and the risk of being sued i doubt it

[Beer Baron]

welcome to last year Slim. This spam email has come through my inbox quite a few times in the last 3 years. nothing ever happens. I highly doubt it would really work anyway...

People will go whereever is easy, or they'll drive around getting the cheapest price, either way I don't think they'll be bypassing the two biggest companies.

Besides, some of us need the higher octane and stuff, or ju7st find their car runs a bit better on the ol' ultimate

I'd love to put pressure on the companies - but its a sad fact the prices are going to rise.

That said, I've been paying over 1.15 for well over 6 months now.

I tend to disagree... I find I get the same out of any 98 octane fuel.....

But each to his own I guess.....

The other thing I've got to say about this spam is, that it simply won't work.

And especially not out my way. We've got all three in the one street within metres of each other. The BP is ALWAYS the cheapest, no matter what. The Caltex fluctuates alot, but the Mobil, well, they're always over the top with their prices because they know they can still stay in business cause the police station across the road has to buy from them.....lol

If you want cheaper petrol use your credit card to pay for it

By the time it has actually been processed and shows up on your bill you cbf caring what the price is
