"Price of Petrol" -


Received the following which sounds like a good idea. A very interesting
idea...AND it will work if ALL Australians get behind it!!!
We are going to hit close to $1.35 a litre by the winter.
Want petrol prices to come down?

We need to take some intelligent, united action.

Philip Hollsworth, 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, whomever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really
work. Please read it and join in! Now that the oil companies and the OPEC
nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP at
.89 / .95 cents, 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.


PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE 80cents a LITRE RANGE


Action - It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy
your petrol at Shell, Caltex, Mobil, g,a.s. or Gulf Outlets and drive right
on by BP Stations.
