£1 fuel can be sorted if we stick 2gether

[tazrocks88]

got this in an email! See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it

 

We are hitting 98p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1 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 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!!! 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

Sounds like a great idea but try telling everyone leaving the pod not to fill up at the BP garage down the road. lol

[Vista]

It does sound great, unfortunately it's not the cost of the actual fuel that hurts us so much it's the tax on top.

 

By the time you've added VAT, (a tax on a tax by the way) it's the government that are making mugs out of us all far more than the oil companies. Sadly that's where the plans fall over, the taxman will take his pound of flesh whereever we buy it from.

 

The only way to avoid fuel duty is to drive a diesel and fill with cooking oil or red diesel. The latter is illegal, but if everyone manages to achieve it...........................................

[Twinkle]

must be an old email its about £1.05 around here at the moment

[sab6024]

I don't fill up at BP or Esso anyway Can't imagine it catching on down here, it seems to be supermarkets and Shell garages around here

[antz]

same here. only BP garage around is already £1.05 no1 goes there cos down the road is a sainsburys

[jimbo]

Hmmmmm...... Thought this sounded like a familiar hoax. Check out the link.

Also. Esso are a subsidary of Exxon. BP are a completely seperate company.

 

Oh! and Royal Dutch Shell are bigger than BP.

 

Sorry if I've rained on your parade. I just don't like seeing people being misinformed.

[MK5]

i buy my petrol at Tescos anyway

I occassionally work in my stores petrol station and they pay around 70p per litre for their fuel then whack 30p on top of every litre and sell it to us mugs. The price of fuel is ridiculous!!!
