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…..
