Petrol And Diesel Price

[Guest craig030774]

See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it....

We are hitting 99.9p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying over £1 a litre!!!!

 

(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, if you can avoid it, 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 wimp out 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 8days!!! 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, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s Jet etc. i.e. boycott BP and Esso.

I seriously doubt that petrol will EVER come down to 69p a Litre, and petrol here is already OVER the 100p mark (103.9 when I filled up yesterday). However the downside with this argument is that these two large companies have masses of corporate contracts where you can only fill up at these stations.

 

While I like the thinking, in practise it just will not work

[miikae]

Sad to say that I too seriously doubt that petrol will ever come down in price unless the government want it to .

I seem to remember that in the 70s on Tomorrow's World , Raymond Baxter featured an engine that could be run on anything from "water to peanut butter" , does anyone remember this ?

I suppose it went the same way as the everlasting light bulb and the ladderless stockings to name only two , hidden in a vault somewhere nodoubt until whenever someone deems it right to open the vault thats full of cost cutting inventions to help mankind .

Wont work as the petrol company's only make 30p ish from a litre. So to sell a 69p they have to do it for free.

GB get almost 70p a litre via duty and VAT.

it's a nice thought but as said before esso & bp suply lots of other outlets so it would be very hard to affect just bp & esso, the goverment just like getting easy money from motorists just because they can like those cash cows they call safty cameras. I saw in a paper last week lorry drivers and farmers were thinking of doing blockades and go slow convoys again

I've just had to fill up with diesel tonight at 105.9 p/litre at BP - Martlesham, Ipswich! avoid..

[Guest allenr03]

I'm paying 102.9 for unleaded and 104.9 for diesel. Its surprising how light my right foot is getting!

[Guest craig030774]

as i said worth a try if we do it and some others we know it may catch on got to be worth a shot

 

btw both my focus's are on lpg and that is 49p per litre

 

may have the first lpg hood by the summer

[Guest salty_monk]

Gone up to $3.40 here... criminal That's £1.70 for 3.5 litres.

 

When the American's tell me it's expensive, I laugh.....

We're going with a winter zetec conversion simply for the fuel efficiency element..

With Bike carbs, Megajolt and a high performance Cam you should be able to get it to match a stock Pinto
