I've seen a similar mail going round for a few years now but obviously people either don't do it, or it doesn't work :-(

I for one avoid BP and Esso purely as the two closest to me and cheapest are Sainsbury's, shell and Texaco but i guess most people just don't worry about it??

Maybe there's also that bit of reverse psychology also in that if BP and Esso see a slight reduction in useage they up their prices to make more on the business they do get?? I guess the problem is most of the service stations seem to be BP so the money they make alone probably helps a massive amount to the disgusing profits they make as people stop there are mainly company car drivers who don't pay for their fuel or have a BP fuel card etc, plus service stations charge more for everything anyway and i guess there's also a lot of cases where people NEED fuel at that moment so have to stop wherever they can?
