    Geez I hate it when people
    merely change the country name in some SPAM email that has been passed around the US and now made it to Australia.

    Just think about it - for the Oil Companies to lose $A4.6B in 1 day

    every man woman and child in Australia would have to not buy $230.00 of fuel.

    When was the last time you and everyone else in your family bought $230.00 fuel on the same day (everyday)?

    Get over it - it is absolute codswollop!

    Furthermore, for them to make an actual loss, wouldn't everyone have to actually steal the petrol ?

    Lost revenue is slightly different to a financial loss and in any case would most likely affect the site operators / franchisees more so than the oil company.

    Oh ..... and if you don't pass this on to 50 people in the next 10 seconds your head will disappear up your own clacker !
