I’ve just got this email. While I was away last week I saw the price of fuel at around 1.07 euro and thought it’s won’t be long till we’re paying over a pound a litre in the uk. As I buy shell optimax, I’m in.
====================================================
We are hitting 95p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with
paying £1 a litre.
The following action 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
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 wimp 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
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.
