This may be a waste of time, but then again for the few moments it takes to sign up, it could be worth it.

Looks to be fairly well organised, and it's not just a petition.

yeah signed up a while ago, nothing to lose apart from 5 minutes, so I thought why not!

I just hope BP comes onboard as they are the only ones with 98 down these ways :(

When are people going to learn? When you want something done, you have to assasinate the head of the corporate. :roll:

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

They would probably be the last to do something to help us, They seem always be the first to raise prices and the last to drop them, I used to get my gas from them all the time, I now go to shell as they have been the nicest to the general public recently ie. holding prices while the others raised it.

Probably doesnt mean anything to them but imo I'm voting with my feet

I think that's because they have the most stations in NZ & can afford to keep prices up a bit longer due to their size & they probally have the most 1 station towns covered, hence little alternative to those in those places to go else where.

BP is the oil company with the biggest presence in NZ, yet NZ only makes up 0.3% of BP's profit. So I don't think anything we do is going to upset them too much.

BP are down 8cents now, so I guess they don't hate you so much after all ;). Pretty sure no other supplier dropped it by any more than that, nor any faster

'Tis true that they are one of the ones to raise the fastest though

by my recollections of the amounts they raised petrol in the last few jumps, they should have dropped it by nearly twice that :evil:

there were 2 $5 a barrel raisesthat took it to about $145. in each of those raises they upped the price 6c a litre.
the price per barrel has fallen by more than that $10 and they only drop it 8c
