back tracking, this was extracted out from a mail:
I received this chain mail from my email. I thought it’s good idea if everybody could do participate and hopefully ‘hurt’ the petrol company on that day.
Email as below,
Let’s do it – Don’t fill petrol on 24 JANUARY 2008
Hi everybody,
Petrol in Pakistan Rs 17 per liter
Malaysia Rs 18 per liter
In India it’s 51 per liter
Why this difference in Asia itself? World Market CRUDE Oil is not the reason for this. It’s all Gain for private owners. As we are the general public, or Common Man as R.K.Laxman wud have said, we have to raise our voice, let’s rise thru Emails.
IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF PETROL FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.
AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES.
THEREFORE “24th JANUARY ” HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED “STICK IT UP THEIR BEHIND “DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF PETROL THAT DAY.
THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT. WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?
REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF PETROL GOING UP BUT AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES,
TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH AFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING SUPPLIES MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.IF THEY DON’T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY, WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE 24 JANUARY A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS SAY “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”.
We forward so many junk email to many of our friends, now let us do it for some useful cause to cut down the price of the petrol……..
REMEMBER: JANUARY 24, 2008…. NO Petrol Day…!
Please “Think Of It ……………

and on 27th January:
Gasoline prices fall below $3 a gallon
Sun Jan 27, 2008 3:05pm EST
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States fell below $3 due to less demand and slightly lower oil prices, and was likely to hold steady, according to an industry analyst.
The national average for self-serve, regular unleaded gas was about $2.98 a gallon on January 25, down 9.43 cents in the past two weeks, according to the nationwide Lundberg survey of about 7,000 gas stations.
“For the immediate future, unless crude oil prices either leap up or fall dramatically, I expect little change for average price of gasoline in the street,” survey editor Trilby Lundberg told Reuters on Sunday.
Both refiners and retailers experienced shrinking profit margins, which means gasoline prices will likely rise when demand increases.
“Gasoline demand is in its traditional winter hibernation and when it wakes up, rising demand meeting depressed industry profit margins will cause a hike at the pump,” Lundberg said.
At the current $2.98 a gallon, retail gasoline is 79.23 cents more expensive than it was a year ago.
Honolulu, Hawaii, had the highest average price per gallon at $3.35 for self-serve, regular gas in the nation, while Tulsa, Oklahoma, had the lowest at $2.70 a gallon.
