That petrol emotion

This message spilled across the PRSD desk in a chain letter stylee. We’ve plonked the bare bones of the concept below for you. Purchaser to power is an interesting idea to affect positive change. But we would urge all you guys to use public transport, not just cut down and be selective about the petrol you buy. Who knows, if enough of us queue up at the bus stops, they might start extending the service.
“Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP, we need to take an aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS, not sellers, control the market place.
With the price of petrol going up more each day, we 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. 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!!
Please hold out until they lower their prices to the 69p a litre range.
It’s easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at Shell, Asda,Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Jet etc. ie boycott BP and Esso.”
