2p extra at the pumps overnight??
Discussion
The more the press/chancellor talk about holding back future duty rises, the more the fuel companies get increases in beforehand to 'pilfer' the extra profit. It's the same with any subsidy/concession, taxpayers' money pours into big company profits and the consumer ends up paying more. When will they learn?

Not sure I understand you there, do you think a duty rise will earn the oil companies more money?RemainAllHoof said:

The point is that prices have been falling so I have no idea why pump prices are going up. Just below $100 isn't it?
It's down to fuel wholesalers jacking their prices up ( only here in the UK not in Europe it would seem). It's called profiteering.Gwagon111 said:
