Fw: Campaign to Reduce UK Petrol Prices - a rip-off at 80p a litre
Petrol
prices are once again on the rise...
Looks like we're going to hit close to 89p a litre in some places 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)
