Fuel Watch

Got this as an e-mail but please read anyway,

"THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' FUEL FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET FUEL BACK DOWN TO $1.00 PER Litre....hopefully This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. If you are tired of the fuel prices going up AND they will continue to rise this winter, take time to read this PLEASE. Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy fuel on a certain day, campaign that was going around last April or May! It's worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!! We are going to hit $ 2.00 a litre and it might go higher!! Want fuel prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy fuel. 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!

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre of fuel is CHEAP at $1..50, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace...not sellers.

With the price of fuel going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of fuel come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their fuel! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying fuel. But we CAN have an impact on fuel 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 fuel from BP Australia the biggest price up driver company.

If they are not selling any fuel, 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 BP Australia fuel buyers. 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 20 people. If each of us s end it to at least ten more (20 x 10 = 200) .. And those 200 send it to at least ten more (200 x 10 = 2000 ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over TWO MILLION consumers. If those get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 20 million people will have been contacted!

If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... TWO HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.

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

Simple - send the message along to other and do not buy fuel from BP Australia"

So pass the message on if you want and lets hope to see the prices drop!

You did more than your share, you potentially just sent that to thousands of viewers. However on an import forum I dont know how it will go? The vast majority probably only buy Bp Ultimate...

Mobil has great fuel too. I mainly use their high octane 98% stuff.

-D

[Cubes]

lol I haven't bought fuel for 5 days

BUS FTW

[Madaz]

yeah isnt it mobil 9000 the purple one

my old man works @ mobil birken head told me they have a whole (sorry dont know what there called) big round thing they store fuel in full of av gas that didn't pass controls so it cant be used in aircraft but too high a octane to be sold as pump gas due to stupid regulations

[Madaz]

just asked my old man what happened to that fuel in the 'tanks' << found out the white round thingy's are just called tanks hahaha any ways would of been sent back to the refinery and re-refined

[craig R33]

prob not the best idea considering bp makes the best high octane fuel, imo

[DSTROY]

[Ryanrb25]

shell V power is perfectly fine imo, doesn't effect my car at all....

[Madaz]

[morbsy]

lol, I can't believe this thread!!!

The people that start these threads are directly associated to the opposition ie. other oil companies.

As far as getting fuel prices back under $1.00 litre....WHAT A LOAD OF CROCK!!!

Break up the price of fuel and you'll see that once you've removed the excise, GST, oil company cut, & servo cut, there is still over $1.00 that's directly related to the price per barrel.

This email probably originated from the likes of ExxonMobil or Shell in order to do damage to their biggest competitor & which won't affect fuel prices by even 1 cent.

Blame these top few countries for your fuel costs:

Rank Country Proved reserves

(billion barrels)

1. Saudi Arabia 264.3

2. Canada 178.8

3. Iran 132.5

4. Iraq 115.0

5. Kuwait 101.5

6. United Arab Emirates 97.8

7. Venezuela 79.7

8. Russia 60.0

9. Libya 39.1

10. Nigeria 35.9

11. United States 21.4

12. China 18.3

13. Qatar 15.2

14. Mexico 12.9

15. Algeria 11.4

16. Brazil 11.2

17. Kazakhstan 9.0

18. Norway 7.7

19. Azerbaijan 7.0

20. India 5.8

Top 20 countries 1224.5 (95%)

Rest of world 68.1 (5%)

World total 1,292.6

The only way that fuel may come down is if the world's biggest user of the stuff (ie USA) continues to suffer in their current recession and starts to cut back on their importation from the Saudis & Venezuala. That's the only way the oil countries will drop the price per barrel but as long as the demand is there, so will the prices increase.

Bush had meetings with the Saudis in an effort to increase their production (which would in turn bring the price of oil down) but they snubbed him.

The other big problem is that China 1st & India 2nd have the world's fastest growing economies at the moment, which means they will eat more and use more oil. 10 years ago they were 3rd world countries. Their economies are growing so fast that if they don't take measures to slow it down, China alone could swallow the world's resources on their own.

Something to consider next time you buy something that's made in China or India.
