The variation in petrol and diesel prices is staggering, not only between the different companies (BP, have you even heard of competitive pricing?) but also between different locations in good old Great Britain.
I work in Wales - and a fill up with diesel at the local superstore will set me back a not insignificant 113.9 per litre. Travel 25 miles home, and I'll be lucky if I find a garage at under 119.9p a litre. Apparently it's all due to the filling station's proximity to the nearest oil refinery, not that a paltry 25 miles should justify a 6p per litre price hike. It's just any excuse to fleece us.
So now diesel and petrol prices are higher than they've ever been. And what do us resolute Brits do? Form blockades? Boycott the fattest of the fat cat filling stations? Vote our grasping, greedy Government out of office? Nope - we simply moan, bitch and complain of course! Watt Tyler will be spinning in his grave.
