Excuse me while I have a rant!
It's on the news about lay off's in the oil industry due to falling oil prices. Ok - I admit I am not watching the barrel price of crude. Amid all of this, petrol prices are creeping up again. The best price I have ever found in the current "price fall" was £1.02p and that was quite some weeks ago. The best I could do yesterday was £109.7p at Asda. Someone must be raking it in. We all know most of the price of petrol goes in taxes to the government. I wonder if it's them or someone else in the chain that is profiteering? I'm in Aberdeen for goodness sake! Wouldn't you think I should be doing better than most of the rest of the country for petrol? Certainly nothing else is cheaper here! What's it like in the rest of the country?
Rant over.
