Petrol Prices!!

Vinnytwin · Mar 29th, 2012, 13:03

Has anyone else noticed the price of petrol has gone up overnight? Yesterday evening on the way home there was a 20 car queue at Sainsbury's in Thurrock (Essex), obviously all panicking about the impending fuel strike.
This morning at 6.30am I drive past the same Sainsbury's and the price has gone up by 1p per litre.
Now I don't watch the financial press 24 hours a day, but I don't recall a hike in oil prices overnight so I can only assume this is a money grabbing exercise by a multi-million pound organisation bleeding the consumer dry yet again.
That'll be the last time I shop there for a while!!!

May your next sh*t be a hedgehog.

Thats nothing...One Shell petrol station in Tottenham has removed its prices all together at the pumps...I went in to ask and the guy shrugged his shoulders and said his manager had done it...

Daylight blind extortion...
