fuel prices received this today
Recieved as an Email if you agree, please copy it and send it to everyone in your address book, Thanks and regards
We have to do something to bring down the price of petrol - please read on.
This could have a real impact on us so definitely worth a try and don't forget
Waitrose currently the cheapest in town
It is worth a try, just maybe.
See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it
We are hitting £108.9 a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1.10a litre. 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, whoever 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, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the market placenot 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. Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest oil companies (which now are), 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!!
Now, don't wimp out at this point... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to a lot of people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the
message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it.....
THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (and not buy at ESSO / BP) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.
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, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s Jet etc. i.e. boycott BP and ESSO

Testing the future
how many more people will come up with this shit?
there were no cross channel ferry crossings today as french fisherman had blockaded their ports protesting about fuel prices. that's the sort of thing that should be happening.

This is the only thread on the subject I could find in time to begin my exclamation of detest..
£1.11 for unleaded petrol? and the prices are showing no sign of decreasing or even stopping to increase..
less than best impressed.

I love the bit about reaching 300 million people, there's only a quarter of that in the country including infants who cant read yet
Its the way it TOTALLY misses the point that what actually is happening is that this is being seen THREE HUNDRED MILLION times, but thats just by 3000 poor bastards on passionford being forced to read it a hundred thousand times each.

Complaining or protesting about fuel price increasing is a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME as it is inevitable due to our natural oil reserves running out, and the EVER increasing demand due to countries like China developing so quickly.
The reason fuel is so dear is due to crude oil supply issues. In approximately 2006 we passed a critical limit called "peak oil." This is the point at which worldwide demand for oil passed the ever decreasing pumping capacity of our natural oil reserves.
What will happen now, is that as the deficit in supply against demand grows ever bigger the price of crude oil will escalate to a never before seen level!
This means we now have hugely escalating fuel prices at the pump. Diesel is forecast to be £1.50 a litre in the next year.
Lastly to give you the real worrying reality, is that within 10 years our oil dependant lives will have to change dramatically as the demand to supply ratio will be critical! This means the way each and every one of us lives is going to change, like it or not!! You may be worrying about fuel prices now, but soon it will effect everything our lives are built around as EVERYTHING is based on the oil industry in one way or another. It is definately the end of our society as we know it and the dawn of a new era, which I have to say worries me hughly as I really have no idea what to expect.

and oil is only $130 a barrel at the moment so a long way to go before hitting the $200 a barrel that peole were saying it had already passed
and if oil is being bought in $ then it should still only be about £65 a barrel so not much more than everyone is freaking on about

dojj,
Regardless of the cost of a barrel of oil at the momment (which is at a record high anyway), soon it will be MUCH higher because of ever increasing demand against ever decreasing crude oil pumping capacity. We have passed a criticial limit in our own life times and things are going to change FAST.

Chip,
What worries me, is we all enjoyed films like "mad max" when they first came out, and I remember thinking how weird it would be to kill each other over fuel. HOWEVER just how far away is this reality?
Think I best get the Cossie kitted out with bull bars and a machine gun on the roof!

Im confident that oil will be a memory or a very expensive rarity at best by the time I retire.
I cant even begin to picture what the planet is going to become like, all the cheap flights and personal transportation etc we are used to now WILL end or become scarce, it just has to, there simply are not enough resources on this planet to support us at the rate we are going currently.

It doesnt take much thought to realise just how big an issue it could become... no container ships moving the worlds goods, airplanes, cars, trains, trucks, etc, etc
Remove all of those and everything the human race has invented will take a huge step backwards!

We have got to the stage now that we have finally reproduced beyond the point our host can sustain us and we will kill it, and ourselves with it.
Its inevitable.

The fuel/oil crisis is such a serious issue, that I do not see myself working in the automotive industry in 10 years time. Every year that goes by now, I keep thinking I will shut down business and change career. For sure it is going to happen in the near future, I just don't know the correct time to get out of the industry before it totally collapses.

lol damit..
and theres me having just completed my application to study Motorsport Engineering in Coventry!
even if they choose to keep cars for logistical reasons in 10 years time, there's probably not a chance they will let people carry on burning fuel in racing for fun!
I think i might learn how to make bicycles..
