Price of Petrol Thu, 27 February 2003 02:50 Go to previous message
Below is an email I got. Don't shoot me for it, but I recon it sounds like a good idea, and is good for me as I run my car on Optimax.




"Price of Petrol" -


Received the following which sounds like a good idea. A very interesting
idea...AND it will work if ALL Australians get behind it!!!



We are going to hit close to $1.35 a litre by the winter.

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, whomever 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 .89 / .95 cents, 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: 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 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!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all (and not
buy at 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 80cents a LITRE

RANGE


Action - It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy
your petrol at Shell, Caltex, Mobil, g,a.s. or Gulf Outlets and drive
right on by BP Stations.
