petrol prices (forwarded)

Got mailed this earlier.
Theory is sound as the big oil companies will put pressure on their
"friends" in the goverment if they start losing cashola.
However we would need to act a a nation and remember
"Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction"
So get off yer arse and do it, don't rely on the next man to do it!!!!!

This is a campaign to reduce fuel prices, I will give it a go - up to you if
you want to.

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
& ESSO!!!

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

BP & ESSO!!!

Fatal flaw?

I would place money on some or even all of the major supermarkets getting
their petrol from either BP or ESSO?

Correct me?

*sigh*

Got tired of the wanking then?

 

Well i can't see Shell buying their petrol from BP or ESSO???

 

No, you're correct.

I know for a fact that Safeway get their fuel from BP.

Comes in a plain white tanker, but it's BP.

 

You should look better then..... (crude oil)

I see no reference to Shell in my post - only major *supermarkets*

Well I've read it, and I think it's crap.

OK, I'll admit it. I was quite fond of Simes in an "itch you like to
scratch" kind of way.

Then that black limo[1] pulled into Raunds tonight, and he disappeared.
Shame.

Whilst this may be true, if such a demonstration of consumer militancy
were to take place it would still affect those companies involved. Ok
it would only cause hardship for the retail arm of the business not the
wholesale bit and I understand that that is mostly franchised anyway but
the publicity would difficult to ignore.

I think the idea has merit but it won't happen.


On a slightly related note is the UK still a member of OPEC?

What a clueless fuckwit.
