Default 22 Sept. No petrol day

I still don't see how not buying petrol on one day is going to make a
difference. The oil companies know that your typical Aussie will still
fill up within a week of Sept 22, and will likely increase the price on
those days to make up for whatever they lost.

If people really want to make a statement, they should stop driving to
work for a whole week, and clog up the public transport systems. That
will get the attention of the govt AND the oil companies.

Just my opinion...


And a damm good opinion too
