Petrol prices are going up, but boycotting it is pointless. OPINION: So support is gathering for a nationwide petrol boycott to protest the ever-increasing cost of fuel. READ MORE* Nationwide petrol boycott gains support of thousands* Petrol prices rise by another 3.5 cents per litre as new tax comes in* Government points to rising margins as petrol closes in on $2.50 in main centresAlbeit only for a short while because, as I mentioned earlier, you will still need gas eventually. A petrol station makes minimal - if any - profit out of actually selling petrol. So if you must boycott petrol for a few days, at least be sure to pop in and buy a pie; there's more profit in that for the petrol station than in a tank of gas.
