Default got this in my e mail. PETROL

LET'S JUST DO IT ! ! !

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....hopefully

This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. If

you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this

winter, take time to read this PLEASE.

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a

certain day' campaign that was going around last April

It's 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 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 on and join with us!



By now you're probably thinking petrol priced at about $1.10 is

cheap.

It is currently $1.43 for regular unleaded.



Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned

us to think that the cost of a litre of gas is CHEAP at $1.50, we need to

take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the

marketplace...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

Aus 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

Aust petrol buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, ...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach

millions of people!!



I am sending this note to 20 people If each of us send it to at

least ten more (20 x 10 = 200) .. And those 200 send it to at least ten more

(200 x 10 = 2000 ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth

group of people, we will have reached over TWO MILLION consumers.

If those two million get excited and pass this on to ten friends

each, then 20 million people will have been contacted!



If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... TWO HUNDRED

MILLION PEOPLE!!!



Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!





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 THEY

LOWER THEIR PRICES TO BELOW THE $1.10 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN

REALLY WORK.



Simple – send the message along to other and do not buy petrol

from BP Aust.

One of them used to be in the Notts area a few years ago. Plus a certain Maxine Carr has been moved around the Notts/Derby border villages for a while now
