"Blatant profiteering by the fuel companies. UK has approximately 5 to 7 weeks of fuel storage so why has the price gone up already! Greedy bastards the lot of them!" That’s exactly what it is, we all know it takes about a week or so to get tanker to the uk and they couldn’t wait to put the price up when it started.  | |||

"Well I could say it doesn't affect me because I don't have a car but as deliveries use transport then the cost of getting products to use Will be higher so shops will increase prices and ultimately I will have to pay more " Welcome to rip off Britain | |||

"Blatant profiteering by the fuel companies. UK has approximately 5 to 7 weeks of fuel storage so why has the price gone up already! Greedy bastards the lot of them!" It's the garages as much as anyone paid £1.29 at Tesco, but the little independent has gone up by 10p to £1.44 | |||

" It's the garages as much as anyone paid £1.29 at Tesco, but the little independent has gone up by 10p to £1.44" My nearest Tesco increased by 8p diesel from Monday to Tuesday. Was told yesterday that another 2p at same Tesco garage yesterday. Will see myself tomorrow if even more. | |||

Only about 30% (and falling) of UK electricity comes from gas burning power generation. So not "mostly" generated by burning gas (imported or otherwise). | |||

"Surely, the whole point of running a business is to make profits. Oil companies are going to do this because thats what they’re there to do. If the opportunity arises to make more profit, that’s exactly what anyone would do. If you’re at work and the boss is desperate for you to work extra, you ask for more money for overtime than for your usual work. Is that profiteering, because you know the person asking is desperate. That’s the same thing. As for the government profiteering by getting more taxes in, raising taxes is what governments do. They need them to run the country. If they cut the VAT on fuel, then other businesses would complain it was unfair, so the government would have to cut taxes elsewhere to even things up, and that could cost millions, if not hundreds of millions that as a country, we cannot afford. " I can't think of any business or person in this country who would complain if the tax on fuel was lower | |||

Schools, hospitals etc they'd soon be up in arms. So you can lower the tax on fuel and raise it elsewhere. Or lower the tax on fuel and crap services. | |||
