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...

yeah, i'm one of them but hopefully something comes of this

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

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.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
