I think its about $AUD1.25 for regular unleaded here in Tassie.

I received this email a while back... Best idea yet to lower petrol prices!!


This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy petrol on a certain"day"
campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just
laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt ourselves"
by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience
to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea,
has come up with a plan that can really work.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to
think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP at ..89 / .95 cents, we need to
take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace
not sellers. With the price of petrol going up more each day, we consumers
need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol
come down is if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their
Petrol!

And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

Here's the idea:

For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest
oil companies (which now are: BP and Mobil). If they are not selling any
petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their
prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of BP and Mobil
petrol buyers.

It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol
at Shell, Caltex, Liberty, GAS. or Gull Outlets and drive past BP and MOBIL
Stations.




He also added ways to get the message out there thru email (basically send it to everyone, and everyone you send it to should send to everyone they have addresses for)!!

It would work if everyone pulled together... Bit of a bastard to employees tho.
