Utter bolloxs really......

I filled up this morning at sainsburys....no difference.

The thing that boils my **** the most is that they are making out they are DOING US A FAVOUR.........they fail to mention completely that the price of oil has dropped $25 in the past week.

So all they are really doing is stopping their profiteering.

Nah that's completely wrong. Forecourt sales of fuel only net a couple of pence profit per litre - hardly profiteering.

If you're anoyed about fuel prices then the government is to blame, noone else - they take 80% of the money you pay on fuel.
