Default fuel Prices!!!

After being charged 111.9p per litre of petrol today, I have done a few searches on google to see if anything is being done to cap or try to controll the price of fuel and I found this.

This has got to be worth a try and I can't really see that we have anything to loose by doing this.

Did this well before christmas - that email dropped into my inbox, did it, forwarded it onto everyone in my addy book hasnt made a blind bit of difference! The author of the article could always work for Shell............. but equally i do occasionally stick in shell V power to give the engine a clean so I tend to buy shell anyway. (and never supermarket crap)

It needs everyones support for it to start working - I think there is growing momentum now with the latest round of price hikes.

Default Re: fuel Prices!!!

i dont think it matters where you buy the petrol. it all comes out the north sea and all goes through the same refineries, its only deliveried to different forecourts.

i signed up to a thing years ago where if there were enough members theoretically its like buying the petrol in bulk, but not heard any more about it in years.

i think we should just fill up with petrol and and over no more than £40 no matter how much you put in!

cant take action if everyone done it!
