Mikos, I don't understand how putting off buying fuel today and buying it tomorrow (ie extra to make up for today) will hurt the fuel companies.Originally Posted by MIKOS
They will still sell the same amount of fuel over the two days.

Hi Morlers
I got the smae email and I passed it on. The way I understand it is, that the fuel companies have to move X amount of fuel each day, The interruption to their fuel supplies would definitely be felt if enough people were to participate, they wouldn’t be able to deliver what they had, this would hopefully cause a storage problem and then a back up of fuel.
It would create a financial cost to the oil companies with the interruption to furl flow. but I also think it was about getting a message across that there is unity in the general public when we all know we are being screwed.
Another plan I heard a while ago was that one oil company was chosen, ie: BP or shell and they would be put on a no buy list. this would mean that we all still purchased fuel but left one major company out. this would cause them to drop their prices and then the roll on effect would then kick in to the others.
What ever we as the public try to do, it would be good for everyone to pass it to as many people as possible so we can get a clearer message across.
Want to stand up n be counted on how you feel about fuel prices!!??..Personally me thinks the only real way to do so is to
(A) Pick a fuel Company or outlet eg "BP" or whoever to start off with.
(B)Block em, in other words dont buy fuel from that mob fer say three months
(B) After two months pick another outlet/brand and block them and can head back to the othery if still open fer trade..
Tell ya what??, betcha there'll be some screamin n squeelin done back n forth between outlets and providers with chances of the message gettin through..
Dont feel the pain on yer own, share the fecker with the ones that dish it out >..
Trouble is apathy n laziness rules most times ey..
Cheers
Initially I thought this was a good idea, my concern is we are only hurting the poor old garage man, not the mega rich oil companys

Ps Didnt need fuel so didnt buy fuel on Thursday.
You're right Zulu. The Mums and Dads Service Stations are hurting enough now with miniscule margins without any more pain being inflicted on them. The oil company owned sites wont flinch a bit with their larger margins.

if you was to black list one then i would surgest caltex as clatex would have to be one of the biggest and also own woolworth fule
i like what some of the trucks did last night and into today at mackville and that was the block the pacific highway
i find it hard to sollow that we pay GST+Fedral Excise+State Excise on our fule that = being taxed three times on one product
just hope someone stands up and listens to what us australian are saying
p.s. for it hurting the small garage owner well think about the hundred other small bisinesses that are getting close to belly up because they are haveing trouble running vechiles
i know i for one am thankful that i sold my courier buisness when i did as i dout i could of kept it running nowdays with the coustomers not willing to pay anymore than they do
Hi guys
Driving home from work on Wednesday afternoon the price of fuel was 1.17.9c per lt.
Driving to work on Thursday morning the price was 1.27.9c per lt.
Then driving home from work on the same afternoon the price had gone back to 1.17.9c per lt???????????.
Personally if it wasnt no fuel Thursday and i filled up that morning and paid 1.27.9c and saw that the price at the same servo had dropped back to the original price would have p!$$ed me right off >
Any thoughts??

This was Caltex
