Petrol rip off prices yet PRA has no answers

Momentum99 E5 was £1.50 a litre yesterday and listening to Radio 5 today to when the Petrol Retail Association was questioned by the RAC why this was despite drop in wholesale prices they said it was because of 'a drop off in business account holders' which was described as unlikely by the RAC and clearly PRA seems to be on the general gravy train like other businesses shutting eyes to bumping up prices by retailers willy-nilly with the gov. doing nothing, indeed there is no motorists lobby in parliament and never has been.

Based on what I pay at the fuel pump now, the conversion would be roughly 1.02 per liter.

At least you have a system that has to pass through Congress first, there is the gov. here and the weak Parliament that 'advizes' the gov. shows no interest in motoring matters, indeed as the gov. collects not only their imposed Duty on each litre of fuel and on top of that 20% vat to top it off then their complacency is understandable and in real terms the more the retailers charge the more gov. scoops up.

Fuel in the UK always been a rip off, sadly makes enjoying cars like ours very expensive.
