Think big oil companies wouldn't be excited about such small acts [lipsrsealed]

 

Think if they gotten the wind of the matter, say do a promotion get one box of facial tissue for every $40/- purchase of any petrol, there might be a long queue at the stations [lipsrsealed]

Yup..... don't fill petrol on 24/01/08 to make the petrol companies [sweatdrop][sweatdrop][sweatdrop]

 

But, on 25/01/08, everyone rush to the kiosk to fill up and the petrol companies had to double up the supplies..... [sly][sly]

 

LPPL, so where the different..... [:p][:p][:p]

As much as I support you... Boycotting them for a day won't have much effect... Most Xinkarpoleans would still go and pump as they have accepted the fact that it's useless to fight against them... Even if they raise the price of petrol for no rhyme or reason, you still have to bite the bullet and pump mah... We will always be on the losing end...

 

To get them to listen, it would definitely take more than this...
