Calling all civic minded people...

I've had enough of the rising fuel prices. Truly, it's become a real issue and as I am out on the road in my car or on my scooter, I notice it - there are just less cars out there. People are avoiding their cars. So, I have taken onboard someone else's idea.

Boycott fuel stations on September 22.

It's that simple. I was watching TV tonight and one current affair show, which I won't name, because I don't want unwanted attention basically publicised it. They said that the fuel companies would lose about $4billion on that day. That's a lot of money folks.

So, that's what I am doing that day. And you know, it doesn't take much to boycott them. Buy your fuel the day before, or the day after, but send them a message that says we're united and we are pissed.



Now resuming normal programming...

Aren't you concerned that the price for the next week after that will spike dramatically to make up for the loss? Because at the moment they can do that, without retribution.

It won't have any affect because the sales figures for the week or month will still be same. If you really want to fight the fuel companies, switch to ethanol! It's outrageous that Australians listen to oil company propaganda about ethanol as a fuel additive/alternative. Large scale ethanol production would create much needed revenue for our farmers, it burns cleaner than petrol and will reduce our dependence on imported oil. :)
