Petrol 'up 5p a litre' in a month

XLX
it goes on because we have NO backbone and keep on letting it happen , we moan every day on here hmg done even read us what is the feckin point moaning on here huh

Some news report yesterday announced that inflation will rise over the next few years, although perhaps not directly in this case the main culprit is HMG . Still they are just not willing or able to make efficiencies, the men from the ministry are worse than ever. I have worked in both the public sector and private sector, and as long as you put people in charge of the public sector who have never worked in the private sector or even better themselves, you will get short working weeks, long holidays, sickie quotas, undeserved pay awards, arrogance towards the community, knighthoods, waste, inefficiencies, low productivity, irrelevancies, arrogance and nonsense. So HMG is trying to keep that going on.

Sorry had to get that off my chest.

What a wheeze!
You stick up the prices by a hefty chunk and when everyone complains you come across all grand and gracious when you drop them again.
How considerate.
How much extra money did they make from the extra five pence per litre (millions of them!) during the price hike?
If they do this every couple of months it boosts their income and makes them look good at the same time.
It is just another clever ploy to make extra cash.

This is done simpley because it is allowed .
The office of fair trading should be closed because it is not doing its job , gas up , electric up , water up , petrol and diesel up .
Does the office of fair trading think its ok for tins of food to rise by 10 - 15 - 20p per tin due to the cost of diesel when one hundred thousand tins can be delivered on one wagon ?
It should be called the office of backhanders .

I live in Western Australia and petrol here can change +- 30 cents per liter ( 20 pence ) OVERNIGHT !!!

Petroleum companies trying to make up ground for people using less fuel. through buying more economical vehicles and generally using less fuel. Simple, just put the price up and get as much for selling less.

same old story.it is traders using the market to make money.if you want to stop it use people power and boycote a supplier like shell or bp for a week alltogther and they will soon do something about it but we dont..also it is the tax and vat on fuel. its a cash cow for govenment because they know we have to use it. believe me , if they could tax air they would

The department of fair trading i think thats who it was who looked into the petrol prices must have been paid off to give the verdict they gave.

It's gone up 4p in 2weeks here.
