Boycotting petrol retailers

[SLK55AMG]

I remember a campaign several years ago that was trying to get people to boycott a particular brand of fuel until they dropped the price to a more realistic level. Then move onto another brand until they did the same etc etc

I don’t recall it ever working for whatever reason, probably apathy from the British public.

I wonder if there is any mileage in this happening again now and no I’m not trying to start a campaign but I’d sure join one.

It has been raised recently, on here. Nothing came of it.

I agree the ones that are not lowering their prices should be avoided. Near me, Texaco is now cheaper than Morrisons.

Normal consumer behaviour would seem to make this automatic I would have thought.

Local Asda dropped its prices by 7p a litre, place had ques round the corner, and pretty quickly sold out signs were put up.
Now Tesco are doing the same, and expect the same result.

Theres obviously still profit in this.

Count me in! Which one do we want to boycott?
