NO PETROL DAY!!

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN AUSTRALIA DID NOT PURCHASE A
DROP OF PETROL FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES
WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.

AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OVER
4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES.

THEREFORE THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK
IT UP THEIR BEHIND " DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD NOT BUY A
SINGLE DROP OF PETROL THAT DAY.

THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY
PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.
WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES
THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?

REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF PETROL GOING UP BUT AT THE
SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING COMPANIES
ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH EFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT
IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING SUPPLIES MEDICAL
SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY,
WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE
YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE SEPTEMBER 22nd A DAY THAT THE
CITIZENS OF AUSTRALIA "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"

I wish it were true but these things have been done before, and it doesnt bother oil companies as they just get a surge before and after, so basically sales are not affected.

Get truckies to blockade and not move till Howard does! Thats only way to realistically win this.

Im driving to perth on this day. What will I do now. Will I have to pull over and wait 24 hrs and then fill up?

I think not.

Nice idea but it will never work. Taxis go through about 3 tanks per day. What will they do. Just not go to work. I think not.

Busses thaat run people to school and work do it on Thursdays too. Will they not work and leave all of the kiddies at home? I think not.

Resturants that feed people in their lunch time require daily deliveries of fresh food. Will they just stay closed for this Thursday and let all of the office people go hungry??? I think not.

See you> you can't drive from Darwin to Perth in one day, 2 Try stock piling some fuel if you use allot in a day, it is called a 44galon drum BP sell them.

Clearly there may be some exceptions but with a bit of planning it could be achieved.

How do you all know it will not do anything, have we tried it, exactly what have you got to lose, you all sound like a bunch of politician’s ‘Oh it’s all to hard, can’t some one else do it’ why not take a stand and see what happens.

Me I don’t give a fuc* I buy my fuel once a week so I will be doing it regardless.

Thanks for the advice mate. Who said that I will be travelling from Darwin to Perth in 1 day? I have offices in Broom and Geraldton.

So does this sound OK for you: I will just get a trailer to tow behind my 100 series and put a couple of 44's on. I will then get a hand pump and filter so as I can refuel on the way. I will then find a place to park the trailer while doing business in Perth for the week. I will then hook up the trailer and tow it home empty to Geraldton. Then drive back to Darwin.

Actually I will just accept that fuel is going to get more expensive and build the cost into my quoting for consulting and research. I really can accept that fuel demand is far in excess of supply. We really are powerless to stop price rises as long as the 2 or so billion chinese become a rich society that relies on oil for manufacturing and transport. It is inevitable that supply will never be enough. This is the way of the future for all of us earthlings. If you really do not like it just switch over to LPG and stop your whinging.

You surely are not so naieve to think that you can really hurt an oil company by avoiding purchasing on 1 day. Even if everyone in the world did avoid Thursday they would all go in and do it on Friday. And guess what??? The oil petrol stations would put the price up a few cents per litre for the next few days and be millions of dollars richer caus they know that we would all have to fill up eventually anyway.

I think you are pulling the old pud mate. This email has been doing the rounds for years. It never works. Why??? Cause there are a whole lot of people (millions) who do not get email or have sms. They are called the Baby Boomers. Ever heard of them????????

Oh and by the way you said that you were travelling to Perth on this day.

Yes you never said where you were coming from but being that you’re ex screen name was See You NT, I just assumed.

Sorry I didnt know that this guy was an idiot. I am so silly.

Yes idiot I am in the NT. I am travelling from Darwin tomorrow via those other places. How much fuel will I need to put in the trailer????? 6 44's or was it 7.

I used to be called See You NT but the christians that own this site took away the NT. I guess that they were offended. It slipped by them for a couple of weeks but I assume that some other christians alerted them to it. Its no wonder they used to get fed to the lions.
