Thing is though, these prices are artifically inflated:
At the last high for forecourt prices, when prices got to around 125p/litre, oil was at around $140 per barrel.
Oil is currently trading around $100-105 per barrel, yet the cost of fuel is way higher than it was before - same happens with gas and elecricity prices, as the companies never drop prices when the raw materials fall back.
We need to take direct action as a nation - make the fuel strikes of 2000 look like nothing - both the government (whichever colour is in power) and especially the oil companies, are taking the p1ss!!
Cheers,
