This is an official message from the www.NoPetrolDay.com protest group.

September 22, 2005 was a success with the oil companies running scared after a
strong campaign culminating in a widely supported day of action. In a remarkable turn around week by the oil companies, they have not increased their fuel prices after the lows of Tuesday September 20. Why have the prices stayed low? Not because of high crude oil prices! Not because supplies are threatened by Hurricane Rita! Only because we participated in a widespread consumer lead protest did prices stay low.

The oil companies admit to making large profits out of the current petrol prices
and have seen a threefold (300%) increase in refining margins over the last few
months. They also refused to attend the NRMA’s petrol price summit so we need to keep protesting.

With over 90% of those surveyed at www.NoPetrolDay.com supporting further
specific action we are now targeting all Mobil fuel outlets from October 1 till
October 7 inclusive. With just one day’s over capacity from their refineries a
worry to them we will see a significant impact from a whole week of no sales.

Please purchase your fuel from any other supplier and NOT from the Mobil Oil
company during the first week of October 2005. Mobil produce most of the petrol
they sell throughout Australia from crude oil they produce from Bass Strait.
This is a very cheap raw material (less than $3.00 a barrel !!!) so the high
prices they charge motorists is a simple rip-off. Boycott all 1200 Australian
Mobil and Quix petrol outlets for a whole week and their Altona Refinery will
choke on the over capacity production.

Since most of us fill our cars once, or at most twice a week, make your purchase a “No Petrol Day” for Mobil and Quix convenience store outlets from October 1 to 7, 2005.

Forward this message to everyone you know.

Let it be heard that the citizens of Australia say Enough is Enough!
