Don't buy petrol 22nd of Feb.

[ILLaViTaR]

Something that's been sent around. Personally I'm an LPG user but this may be of interest to you.

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 FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22nd HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED 'STICK IT UP THEIR ***' 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 REPOST THIS BULLETIN AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.

WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE
PRICES? IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED LONG AGO? THE PRICES JUST KEEP GOING UP AND WE NEED TO STOP IT.

PETROL PRICES ARE CAUSING OTHER EFFECTS; AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, AS ARE TRUCKING COMPANIES. THIS INCREASES 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. SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. REPOST THIS BULLETIN. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE FEBRUARY22nd THE DAY CITIZENS OF AUSTRALIA SAY 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'

its a repost sorry mate. it wont happen as people will need fuel.

good luck, but it wont work, just means everyone will buy their fuel the day before or the day after and the petrol companies will make a bigger than normal profit for that specific day, making up for the day when nobody bought any petrol..

Not this again.

Won't work this time nor the other 5000 times it's been posted.
