"The UK petrol and diesel sector is being put under the microscope by the fair trading watchdog amid rising prices at the pumps.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) will spend six weeks gathering evidence about whether competition is being curtailed.
The watchdog will also consider whether falling costs of crude oil are reflected in prices paid by motorists.
It will publish its findings in January.
The OFT said that the UK retail road fuels sector was estimated to be worth around £32bn.
Petrol prices rose by 38% between June 2007 and June this year, and diesel prices went up by 43% over the same period."

Should be interesting....
