>  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

this

> This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy petrol on a certain
day"

just

ourselves

it
was

with a

>
> 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

aggressive

sellers.
>
> With the price of petrol going up more each day, we consumers need to
take

is
if

can do

>
> How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying petrol.
But
we

> Here's the idea:

> For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two
biggest

selling
any

their

impact,

>
> It's really simple to do!! Now, don't wimp 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

ten
more
> (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the
sixth

consumers!
>
> If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends
each,

>
> Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If
you

is
send

>
> How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to
ten
more

conceivably

and I

difference.

> If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.
