Fuel Pricing

[cotswoldlad]

Anyone noticed the unique property of fuel pricing!
It seems that whatever raw material, Fuel tax or Vat increase happens fuels prices always come out at .9p per litre.
This unique property does not seem to happen to fruit and veg at the same supermarkets, I wonder why.
Do you think it is because these retailers are treating their customers as morons with not enough intelligence to understand that when petrol is 129.9p per litre it is really 130p

This appears to have happened for years with a 'psychological threshold' that retailers gassed on about when I was a consultant.

I think the bigger fiddle was when we went to litres, if the boards outside the petrol stations were saying nigh on £6 a gallon people would be less inclined to fill as much.

Yh the fuel prices are ridiculous. The shell garage that i live near has unleaded petrol of 128.9p i think and diesel I think is 132.9p. Expensive. It's mostly fuel tax!

Yep. All but 45p or so per litre. Shocking.
