Get Petrol prices down


THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY PETROL FOR ONE DAY' IDEA, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET PETROL BACK DOWN TO $1.00 PER LITRE.

This was originally sent by Phillip Hollsworth, 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 his idea.

It makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day' campaign that was going around OZ last April or May!

It is worth your consideration. Join the resistence!

Petrol is going to hit $ 1.80 a litre and it will go higher! Want the price to come down?
Remember the USA price is US$3.40 per gallon which equals $0.89c per litre, US and OZ dollars are about the same. We are $0.70c per litre dearer thanks to Caltex and Woolworths.

We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at last year’s action because they knew we would not 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 Phillip has come up with a plan that can really work.

By now, you're probably thinking petrol priced at about $1.40 is cheap. It is currently $1.47 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 $1.47, 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 and the only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the wallet 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 CALTEX
the biggest price-driver-upper 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 CALTEX petrol buyers. It's SO simple!
Now, don't wimp out at this point, keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions and even BILLIONS of people!!

I am sending this note to 20 people.
If each of you sends it on to at least twenty more that's (20 x 20 = 400).
And those 400 send it to at least twenty more (400 x 20 = 8000 ... and so on.
By the time the message reaches the fifth group of people, we will have reached over SIXTY FOUR MILLION consumers!
20x20 = 400
400x20 = 8,000
8,000x20 = 160,000
160,000x20 = 3,200,000
3,200,000x20 = 64,000,000
64,000,000x20 = 12,800,000,000
That's 12.80 Billion people who will have been contacted!

Unbelievable?? Do the math and see for yourself!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 20 people. That's all!
I'll bet you didn't think we had that much potential, did you!
Acting together we can make a difference.

If this message makes sense to you, then please pass it on.
THEY will LOWER THEIR PRICES TO BELOW THE $1.50 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

It’s simple – send the message along to others and choose to not buy petrol from CALTEX.
TWENTY FIVE POINT SIX BILLION people:
Now THAT's people power. LET'S JUST DO IT ! More power to us.
