Petrol prices - let's show them who is boss!! The consumer

Received this email today. It sounds logical. Check this out yourselves..........


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....

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 this, PLEASE.

Phillip 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!

It is worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!

We are going to hit $
3.00 a liter 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 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 whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.


Please read on and join with us!


With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumer 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
PETRONAS 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 petrol buyers. It's SO simple!

Now, don't wimp out on me 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 folks, who will have been contacted!!!!!

Unbelievable?? Do the math and see for yourself!

Of course, not all 12.80 billion pump PETRONAS but with the hard work and network distributions, others users will get this news and distribute it to the whole Malaysia


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 PETRONAS


TWENTY FIVE POINT SIX BILLION people:



Now THAT's people power.



LET'S

JUST DO IT ! ! ! – stop pump at PETRONAS

I've actually started walking to work - multiple advantages, saves on petrol, less wastage, less pollution on environment, and most important of all, a chance to catch up on exercise and sweating which I had been promising myself for a long time.
Daclaring a no buy petrol day per week means people pumping one day ahead or after, and in the end they will still need to pump the same amount. What do you all think?

The article said don't buy from Petronas. I have stopped buying from Petronas a long time ago!
