Are you as sick as me over yet another petrol price rise this time because of B.P.s badly maintained leaking pipeline from Alaska. If its not gas its petrol & everytime it hits us all & if we keep moaning & putting up with it , then it will keep on happening. It might cause a bit of personal hardship but lets make a stand & BOYCOTT B.P Products ....we've had enough.... lets have a revolution comrades!

Correct. The only way is to boycott one company. That's why the last boycott fell apart.
I won't use a BP station until we get a price drop.
Watch this space !

sorry mate but i will have to disagree with some of that.....(As unpopular as it will make me)
While i agree the petrol prices are far too expensive .... i would have to point out that the reason for that is the amount of stamp duty that the goverment put on it ! not the price of the actual petrol....... maybe we should all boycott paying taxes? thats more likely to reduce the amount of duty claimed by the goverment and thus lower the price of our fuel..............
It you want the honest truth, its all about gas emisions and the green house effect.... the goverment takes such a high amount of stamp duty on things like cigarettes and cars etc. because they dont want you to buy them. The goverment wants people to cycle to work or car share etc. which is all well and good but the underhand way they are doing it just winds me up.
If you dont want people to drive cars then why dont they increase the price of new cars.....the reason because thats not up to them its up to the car manufacturers.... this way they get to increase your everyday costs via the back door....something this goverment has only been tooo happy to do since they arrived in goverment.
Rant over !!!!

They can easily afford to maintain their pipelines, and even more so now!
I'm with ya all the way, not that it will make any difference, They sell their oil on the open market at $78.00 + per barrel, (when it is only costing them about $20.00 per barrel to get to market), it then goes to various companies to be refined before becoming many different products. BP have made all their money from it before it becomes gasoline/petroleum. That's why forecourt petrol stations have to sell groceries to make money.

yeah, you'd think they'd maintain the damned pipe.
