I know everyone hates SPAM, but just read on, this is about PETROL
PRICES

Join the resistance!!!!

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 whimp 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.
