Petrol Prices

Notch Nut · 2008-05-28T09:09:50+00:00

Just wondering if anyone else out there recieved this email. Sounds like a great idea if enough people get on board. - Adam🥷 ----------------- 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 $ 2.00 a litre 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! By now, you're probably thinking petrol priced at about $1.50 is cheap. It is currently $1.90 for regular unleaded. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a liter of gas 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 gasoline 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 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 BP 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 BP 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! 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 BP. TWENTY FIVE POINT SIX BILLION people: Now THAT's people power. LET'S JUST DO IT ! ! !

Adam, I have to say watercooled is not always easy. I blew up Suby motor. To many 6800rpm rev limits racing P plate V6 Commodores. The last one beat me. Oh and one day I will race you with my classic jap rice bike against Sportster. Fun? LOL

We sell 10kg of Thai Jasmine rice for $16. I'll give your 2 wheel rice burner a run anyday on my ol faithful 2 banger!!🥷

The suby problem is just karma for not fitting a porsche motor. I always wonder why I get funny looks when I pass people after 2kms of straight road for me to catch up in the old 1600cc Notch. Only to get stuck at the lights when I finally catch up with traffic.😬

bastards. It seems now everyone is a tight arse tuesday petrol buyer so the prices arent coming down as much. Its not fair, I've been doing it for years surely I am entitled to some old school tight arse discount.

People who are now jumping onto the tuesday bandwagon cant be good at maths. Back in the old days when petrol was $1.20 on Tuesday and $1.30 on Thursday, you were saving $5 on a 50 litre tank. Now its $1.53/4 on Tuesdays and $1.60 on Thursday you are only saving a max of $3 / 50 litres and people are flocking to it. Madness I say.🤪

Perhaps if you try noodles in your stir fry instead???🙅 Has the price of noodles gone up?? Admittedly a bit strange with curry, but you could call it fusion.

BTW my pet hate at the pump is people who shop for half an hour inside while you're filled up and waiting to go because their car's in front of you, and someone's waiting behind you. 🥷
