We are hitting 95p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1 a ltr.

The following 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 fuel products.
And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year DON'T purchase ANY fuels 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!!

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 buy your petrol at Shell, Asda,Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons Jet etc. i.e. boycott BP and Esso

(EDIT : I lifted this from an email currently "doing the rounds"πŸ˜‰

However, if you look for a genuine alternative petrol.
You will be saving the planet.

Sadly fuel is far too cheap.

Very true!

Problem is most of the cars in Slough are either stolen or not as valuable as the petrol inside them.

Wow that's expensive! I just filled up this morning (I live in Massachusettes) and it was $2.79/gallon. which is about $0.69 a liter. Maybe you guys should invade an autonomous country and steal their oil like usπŸ˜›
