If you feel you want to try to reduce petrol prices, try the following
suggestion:….
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.
So here is a 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 re 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, DO NOT purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest
oil companies which now are one in the same namely, - 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 and 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 MLLION 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 inform
them NOT TO buy at ESSO or BP Fuels
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 69 Pence 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.
BUT Remember to boycott BP and Esso.
P.S. - To give you some food fr thought - In Spain Petrol is only 40p per
litre and the Spanish are complaining it’s too expensive…..
