Not again, the idea is flawed.

Draw up a new plan, Stan.

Freaking spastics.
Where the hell do you think the smaller companies buy their diesel/petrol from?
Yus, BP (amongst other major companies, I should add).

Whoever created this retarded "masterplan" then felt compelled to share it with us needs to be shot. In the head. Several times.

The only way to beat the the oil companys and the bandit government is to boycott all petrol stations and do what Tony Blairs so called people government want you to do and leave your vehicle at home and take public transport.If that happened there wouldnt be enough buses,taxies,trains or aeroplanes to cope with the influx of commuters.I say lets call the government and play them at thier own game.Summers here just call all the central heating companys and tell them that you dont want any home heating oil because of OPEC and Tony Blairs so called get people back to public transport.Public transport dosnt work i should know as i am a taxi driver the public dont want to pay my fares as a direct result of Tony Blairs government and OPEC.I at least am flexable as far as possible i assorbs the price increase but with a working margin you can only last about 1 month.So as OPEC and Tony Blair keep putting the price of petrol and oil up the visiabilty of even useing public transport is a taxsation in its self.

I'd read your post but it has no parragraphs.

As to the original plan, whoever made it, is a fool that must have saw the prices and immediately starting banging a dictionary on the keyboard because it's so wrong.

EDIT: 300 million people. huahahaha.
