I just read this in a email I got and so I wanted to post it on here as it seems like a good idea which may help us all....
Campaign to Reduce UK Petrol Prices - a rip-off at 80p/litre
We are going to hit close to 89p a litre by the summer. 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. 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 at 77p -80p, 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 whimp 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 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 69p a LITRE
RANGE
Action:
It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your
petrol
at Shell, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons (75p), Jet etc. i.e. Boycott
BP and
Esso.
Cruisin aint a crime!!
