Just had this through as an email

worth a thought?

See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it

This has been oging round for donks, dont think hitting 69p is a realistic target!!! Getting it under a £1 would be a struggle!

[JadeGTI]

LOL!!

getting it under a quid would be bloomin wonderful!!

xx

[liverpoolmiss]

Getting the email sent to 300 million people would be impressive as well, seeing as there are only 60 million in the country!

Got to love their ambition

How many extra miles are you prepared to drive to do this and how many supermarkets are you going to avoid filling up in if they buy their product from the companies mentioned?

[JappyBeast]

If only one company slashed their prices, everyone would go there and then the others would follow suit!

[GIDDLEPIN]

Where is the bit at the bottom that usually says......

"If you don't send this out to at least 10 people a catastrophe will befall your family and you will die a horrible death"

[JadeGTI]

LOL!!!!

im only posting what was emailed to me.

i like getting petrol from BP as i get loads of nectar points and the guy who works there fancies me and always adds on an extra hundred points!

however, since i moved house, tescos petrol station is closer so i mainly use them, unless im out and run out i use whats closest. but i do find supermarket petrol is cheaper anyway.

Global demand for diesel has increased even more in the past week - China has made huge purchases because they're running hundreds of emergency generators.

This will feed through into higher prices at the UK diesel pumps in the coming couple of months. Things are going to get a lot worse...

[flumpsfriend]

:( we're all doomed :(

[Burger28]

price has gone up every day this week so far :/

I am just wondering when the people in this country are going to wake up and do something instead of just moaning about things

No one will......... Not buying fuel for a day will get nothing done....

Gordon Brown and his cronies need to stop grabbing so much TAX and subsidise the fuel... Don't see other countries increasing the fuel at such an alarming rate...

[Caldina_GTT]

i admire the french.

they refuse to take a fisting but us brits are just happy to bend over and take it and say oh well no one will do anything

[liverpoolmiss]

But petrol in France is slightly more expensive than in the UK! All across Europe prices are very similar to ours, with a couple of exceptions like Greece.

American Airlines solution to the fuel price increase...scrap 75 planes from the fleet and put lots of people out of work

£1.29 for BP Ultimate D meaning my Hilux now costs just under £100 to brim for about 320 miles.

[phoenix21189]

cheapest i've found recently was 109.9pp/l at an esso garage, esso are never cheaper than the supermarkets!!! they are whinging about the credit crunch and say they're trying to help. but then the fuel prices keep going up!!

[trev3635]

I just drove past my local garage in brampton just outside carlisle, £1.31 for diesel!!! :o

and £1.26 unleaded :o :o

WTF indeed, WHERE'S ALL THE FUEL PROTESTERS NOW EH?

cos i'd be the first one to barricade B.P. (Billions of Profit).

We must set gordon browns trousers on fire till he decides to stop taxing us so much,

and as for darling and bumbling boris, well............................!

[Jimlad]

Is it Chinas fault then??

Someone go and make them stop developing. Bomb them or something!!!
