| 671455 | 2008-05-22 19:31:00 | They are blaming the rise on overnight rises. However the existing petrol in the tanks of the service station shouldn't be effected by this rise, if that is the true reason for the rise. That's always the case it goes up the instant there is even a sniff of oil going up but if oil comes down in price don't expect a response for at least a month, saw the big oil cheeses on tv last night and boy did they look smug as the insisted all the profits were re invested time for some show and tell I think to prove it. :( |

There was always a point were demand exceeded supply and we have finally reached it, you would be naive to believe supply could increase forever, in fact supply is set to fall making things a lot worse. Oil company's are make huge profits no question, however now demand exceeds supply speculation has taken over as the large greedy financial institution drive prices through the roof. Don't "Just" blame Oil company's. |

I think not. |

| 671464 | 2008-05-23 07:33:00 | I noticed too as I filled my car, ready for the homeward journey of 28km in rain and freezing winds. Which, of course, is why I use my car rather than a cycle and there is no public transport to get me to work. |
