Do your bit!!
I hear we are going to hit close to 89p a litre by the summer.
Want petrol prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent,
united action.
Phillip Hollsworth, in the USA, 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 with us!
By now you're probably thinking petrol priced at about 77p a litre
is super cheap. Me too! It is currently 79p - 83p for regular
unleaded in some towns. 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.
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 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 about thirty 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. (If
you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to
do is send this to 10 people.... well, let's face it, you just aren't
a mathematician. But I am... so trust me on this one.)
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 AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
