DON'T BUY PETROL ON THE 22ND OF FEBRUARY
Body: 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 FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22ND HAS BEEN FORMALLY
DECLARED "STICK IT UP THEIR ASS 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 COPY THIS BULLETIN TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.

WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE
PRICES? IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED LONG AGO?

THE PRICES JUST KEEP GOING UP AND WE NEED TO STOP IT!

PETROL PRICES ARE CAUSING OTHER EFFECTS; AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, AS ARE TRUCKING COMPANIES . THIS INCREASES PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING SUPPLIES, MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC.

WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO! AND 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! DONT BUY A DROP AND TELL EVERYONE......

COPY THIS BULLETIN AND POST IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE FEBRUARY 22ND THE DAY CITIZENS OF AUSTRALIA SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"!

COPY AND REPOST THIS BULLETIN AS - DON'T BUY PETROL ON THE 22ND OF FEBRUARY

This doesn't work. It will be compensated for by earlier petrol purchases, which will actually benefit the sellers due to the time value of money.

I think snopes did an article about this. Even if people actually stopped using petrol for that one day, it's not exactly a boycott.

Or later purchases...but the difference in the Net Present Values of the later purchases and any purchases on the boycott day would be minimal.
