This same email was being sent around during the last fuel protests (remember the shock then at petrol reaching £1 a litre?).
It makes no sense whatsoever to only boycott Esso and BP.
Most likely this bit of spam came from the desk of Shell's chief executive.
If you want to use market forces to cut the cost of fuel - stop buying it! Use your feet (or bike/bus/train) for more journeys, cut out the unnecessary car journeys, get rid of your gas-guzzler and buy something fuel efficient.
