That's my point, Tesco are price fixing

And the price of oil isn't?

I can't do anything about the price of oil but Tesco's we can. They are blatantly taking advantage of the current situation and have been found out.

First time I haven’t used 99Ron in over a year, when I pulled into Tesco in Cirencester and their Momentum was £2.03 per litre last Thursday evening.

Car seems to be running fine without its usual drink but I just couldn’t stomach the increase they slapped onto the pumps.

Further to my earlier post, I think to break the cartel like behaviour of the supermarkets, the public should just pick one supermarket to boycott and force competitive behaviour, this causing a chain reaction from the others.

At the moment, Tesco seems to be the most egregious, we should focus on them to start with.

Why they done it I wonder? All them years they've been cheaper than the rest, now when the price of fuel is under scrutiny they decide to jack the price up to more than everyone else. Must be their biggest pr disaster since Shergar Burgers.

There's a Total Station on the Dudley Road Wolverhampton selling fuel at cost to help locals.
The staff have taken a wage cut too to make it happen.
Saw it in the Express and Star that I used to deliver as a boy.

Simple, cash in on people's ignorance/assumption that they are the cheapest.

My energy company recently said that i should more than double my direct debit to them so I don't feel a hit, come winter. 50d that I thought, if I'm in debt to them, that's good, I'm not overpaying now and have the money in their account doing nothing for me.

Oh dear, to add to the misery, gas supplies from Norway may be shut off in the next few days…

Despite this Brent has dropped 10% in the last hour! Whoopee

 

[CatmanV2]

I understand gas is well down as well. And has been for some time.

The bar stewards….

UK petrol prices not falling in line with wholesale cost – RAC

Drivers are paying nearly £9 more for a tank of fuel than they should be, data shows

Oil compnaies and indeed forecourt garages don't help themselves in terms of publicity when they may huge proffits and are quick to raise prices and slow to drop.

US crude is trading around $93 a barrel, down from $120 in early July. Taking in the US-GB forex the £ is up on the $ over the same period so double whammy on reducing prices.

Always the same but governments are also keeping quiet about the extra tax revenues they have been pulling in
