BAXR6Chick Member 11 Member For: 20y 2m 6d Posted 31/08/05 05:43 AM Share Posted 31/08/05 05:43 AM (edited) 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 september 1st 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 theprices 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 1st a day that the citizens of australia "enough is enough" Edited 31/08/05 05:46 AM by BAXR6Chick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would keep jobs and lots of money in the economy which would probably claw back the lost tax anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also adds about 10rwkw, and noticeably reduces my 1/4 mile times.I wont tell you what I do to increase boost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
