Over the last week our local Morrisons fuel station has reduced its price of unleaded from a wallet busting 121.9p down to 115.9p per litre which is most commendable.
The reduction was in 2p increments which in the past has usually been 1p at a time and over probably several weeeks to get 6p off.
I'm not knocking a reduction at all as we all welcome that good news.
My point is that prices seem to be out of cyncrinisation with the barrel price and also the usual situation where the smaller independant fuel retailer was consistantly around 3-4p dearer than the supermarkets has gone.
All of these observations could lead one to determine that pump prices are being artificially held high without true justification other than greed for profit.
During the election news bulletings there was a motor cycle protest outside westminster caught on camera and the sound of horns blasting rendered the news reader unable to continue their conversation, thus driving home the point that some folks do have a passionate feeling about fuel prices.
