Removal of meters/chips will be deemed an offence and a mandatory fine/ jail sentence will be imposed without trial.
WOT? No Chips??

Mr Optimistic!
This time last year I would've thought you mad if you'd said a song with the chorus "F**K YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME" would become the festive No1. It's all about people power.
Eventually something will have to give, the cracks are already showing.

'Fraid I have to agree that it would stand very little chance of working. One of the reasons is simply that people wouldn't boycott a station and still boycott that same station after the first round of price cuts. Say BP sell at 119p a litre and asda at 116p, there's a boycott and BP drop their prices to 115p a litre, do the boycotters still refuse to go to BP and be happy with asda's prices paying a penny a litre more in the hope that BP drop even further or would they now be happy to accecpt BP's price?
BP and the big players also supply asda as has been pointed out so they will still be selling their petrol albeit at a slightly lower margin, but they will still be in profit and anyway the profits on petrol make up quite a small sector of their turnover so a boycott is likey to have very little effect.
Dave-m says we should direct our protests towards the government but even here we are likey to have just as much effect, letters will be binned and e-mails deleted. We can't just not use our vehicals so I for one am at something of a loss as to what practical protests we can make.

bp dont own any refinery's in britain anymore but still get a % due to the oil fields and the refinerys get asda tesco morrisions, tankers in all the time ,where do you think they got their petrol from? tesco dont own a refinery nor do the rest ,you have to understand oil comes directly into the refinery via the north sea rigs they proccess it to make fuel ,diesel and aviation fuel.

Why are you people so dumb? Oil is priced in US petrodollars. As the value of the pound slides - the price you pay rises. Instead of whinging about the price of oil - cut the deficit and make the pound rise. Then your pound will buy more oil. Geddit yet? It's basic schoolboy economics.

And of course that explains the 9p a litre price difference between service stations too
or the advantage sorry "cost" of running a motorway service station.

Just wait until oil is discovered around the Falkland isles it will have to come further and be even more expensive.
The price will keep on going up. You'll one day be amazed that it was once just a quid a litre.
I wasn't when it was 36p a gallon

Was that 2,3,4,or 5 star.
