ARE GREEDY PETROL FIRMS RIPPING US OFF?

Friday June 6,2008


GREEDY petrol companies were accused of profiteering yesterday as pump prices continued to soar – but the cost of oil fell dramatically.


The price of a barrel of oil and the wholesale cost of diesel have both dropped by around 10 per cent in the past two weeks.

But suppliers are refusing to pass on the benefits. Analysts said diesel should be at least 7p a litre cheaper by tomorrow.

But last night diesel and petrol continued their relentless rise, with the average pump price climbing fed up with paying 20 per cent more for unleaded and 33 per cent more for diesel than in June last year.

DO YOU RESENT SOARING PETROL PRICES?

WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE TO CUT COSTS FOR MOTORISTS?

IS IT FAIR FOR GREEDY PETROL FIRMS TO BE RIPPING US OFF? HAVE YOUR SAY NOW!
