    hi

    first post on a forum, read an interesting idea , if everyone stops buying from bp and esso the two biggest companies they will be forced into lowering their prices, then the other companies would have to follow suit. thus starting a price war
    from what the leaflet said it want to run it like a chain letter if you think the idea
    is a good one pass it on to 10 people get them to pass it on and so on,
    at the end of the day without customers esso and bp cant survive they need us we can buy petrol fro many other stations

    the one above was not there when i was typing this

    I want to kill myself

    Still £1.17.9 in Plymouth; diesel £1.18.9
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    Local Esso (Stonehouse) went up 3p in 3 days (including twice in one day) now 119.9 P&D (as of driving past last night). Esso at the top of Hamilton 2 days ago was still 116.9 for both. Shell garages usually seem to a penny or so cheaper, but not nowadays.

    It's the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without being seduced by it.

    I'm paying 120.9 for diesel in Moira at the minute, which is relatively good.
