petrol prices (forwarded)

There's a fundamental misunderstanding going on here.

Oh, and here.

Oh dear.

This has more a than a little of the EL Wisty about it.

Idiot.

 

Twat! The only people who will suffer is the garage owners.

The branding on the pump just refers to the addatives. The base petrol
you buy depends upon whose refinery/distribution centre is nearest, not
the sign on the forecourt.

 

If I do this, does 1p go to that little girl who is dying from everything,
and will Bill gates get a copy?

 

Cerberus secured a place in history by writing:

Regrettably this shows a total lack of understanding of the economics of
the oil industry - particularly in as much as the retail aspects are of
little interest to the big oil companies.

I thought so. Coz I seem to remember Thatcher or someone telling us that
the reason oil prices were going up was because the Ayrabs told us that
we had to and that it was A Good Thing because although it was costing
us more money and causing rampant inflation it would be us who gained
the benefits when our shares in the oil companies went up due to the
excessive profits they would be making.

 

**** sake. Was no-one paying attention when I posted this link a couple of
days ago?
