See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it. We are hitting
95p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1 a
ltr.
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, 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 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
tenmore (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
It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your
petrol at Shell, Asda,Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons Jet etc. i.e.
boycott BP and Esso.

rubbish.. that will not work.
On £10 worth of petrol, the esso retailer will make less than a 80p on that, Esso them selves will get no more than £1.50 and the rest is tax.
So saying, lets not buy their petrol, esso will lower their prices will not work im afriad
