How To Lower Your Petrol Prices



So Below is an email I got from this lady I work with who insists on sending me at least four pointless joke emails a day and I only let her keep doing it because she has no life and I feel sorry for her. 




Todays email was a little different in that it actually bought up a pretty good point- to my surprise. I did however feel kind of let down by the fact that it ended with one of those "Send this to 1 billion people and you will get lots and lots of sex" kind of deals because it would have otherwise been a half decent proposal. 



Consider the below email for me and let me know what you think. Personally I think it is a great idea (only I took out the bullshit at the end for your benefit-fuck Im good to you!).






THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' PETROL FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET PETROL BACK DOWN TO $1.00 PER Litre....
This was originally sent by Phillip Hollsworth, a retired Coca Colaexecutive. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this winter, take time to read this, PLEASE. 
Phillip 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! It is worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!! We are going to hit $ 2.00 a litre and it might go higher!! Want petrol prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at last year’s action because they knew we would not 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 on and join with us! By now, you're probably thinking petrol priced at about $1.50 is cheap.
It is currently $1.90 for regular unleaded. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a liter of gas is CHEAP at $1.50, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the market place...not sellers.
With the price of gasoline 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 pocketbook by not purchasing their petrol! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying petrol. But we CAN have an impact on petrol prices if we all act together to force a price war. Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from  BP the biggest price-up driver company. 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 SO simple!

  1. It is a good idea if we could get everyone not to buy. I don't buy BP already so I would not make a difference.

    We have had similar e-mails here, the difference being that they have tried to encourage people to buy local. We have a synthetic fuel made here from coal & they wanted people to buy that & from local suppliers to cut out the large cartels, but it did not work.

    The trick is to find a way to do without it completely.

    But it is worth a try again I suppose.
