it? Since then it's been rocketing in price.

I think none of them wanted to go through that barrier, but, as you say, they have now got loads of road till the next pound.

I think it is time for a bit of direct action!

All the talk of 'not using the top 2 companies for a day' is good in practise, but bad in reality. Stop buying fuel from the top 2 until they drop the prices, and you could see prices tumble very quickly.

The alternative of course is illegal blocading of fuel depots!

I agree every little helps, but the vast amount of the fuel price we pay is made up of duty and tax.

So instead of having a pop at the likes of BP and Shell, shouldn't we be having a pop at the gov?

Yes it's the govt we should be protesting with. They get most of the money

But, how do we do that? We already have a leader we didn't elect and who is too scared to call an election - we have to target those who have more of a voice.

Imagine we said we would not buy fuel any more - the government would laugh cos they know we need it, but imagine the big two say they are closing down a lot of their uk refineries and withdrawing from selling in the UK, loads would be done.

Indirectly, by affecting the big two (shell and esso by the way) will impact the government.

Not BP then.

That's right, have a pop at the big 2 and they'll have a pop at the government for you. They'll listen to them.

Good point, all three then!

Petrol sales from the big companies only make up a fraction of there profits, diesel and lpg are by products of the industry, so how will it affect them if you boycott there petrol stations
