How to reduce Petrol Price
Interesting mail in my inbox this morning… may be another chain mail….
Apparently we are going to hit close to Rm1.50 for a litre by next year. Want petrol prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. If Petrol price increase many items will start increase the price due to transportation and tol. So we shall do something to stop it! Philip Hollsworth, 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! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't 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 it and join in!
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP at 89 / .95 cents, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace not sellers. With the price of petrol 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 pocket by not purchasing their Petrol! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the THREE BIG OIL COMPANY (which now are one ESSO, SHELL AND PROJET) 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 ESSO, SHELL AND PROJET petrol buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, don't whimp 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 a; lot of people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) .. and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! Again,all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (and not buy at ESSO, SHELL AND PROJET) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! 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.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE 80cents a LITRE RANGE.
It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at Petronas, Caltex, g.a.s. or Mobil,Gulf Outlets and drive by ESSO, SHELL AND PROJET Stations.

our country has one of the cheapest petrol prices in the world! i think this articel was aimed towards petrol prices with the american dollar rather than malaysian ringgit....
(a) It's them you have to persuade and not the 'big three' (or four, or five)
(b) they're suppressing the price already and subsidising it, and I reckon they'll need a better case to spend more money on it than "the big three ain't making it".
You could also reduce prices by reducing demand, but this needs to be on a worldwide basis, not just in Malaysia.
if the supplier decides to reduce the gas price.. the goverment may not reduce it also...
good point..
Also, do we have enough drivers to make a difference? I think we do...
