| 664159 | 2008-04-30 06:35:00 | If Gull is always 5 cents cheaper and most people are complaining about the high price of petrol, Why does not everyone with a Gull nearby shop there ? That would soon give the other companies a message. We should support new comers. |

| 664161 | 2008-04-30 06:46:00 | They also have the shabbliest stations, and minimium amount of staff. The state of some of these petrol stations, are in very poor condition. Our local shell, is dirty, and the some of the fluro tubes that light the roof have blown and others flicker. They certainly don't seem to be putting their profits back into the community, it all appears to be going offshore. The AA also appear to be in bed with BP, so you don't hear them critising much these days. Good point!...I wouldnt mind, if they were giving something...anything back! |

| 664165 | 2008-04-30 08:05:00 | It still boils down to supply and demand. (lessens demand but oil company's have insane profits). Supply and demand is just a euphamism for extortion. |

| 664166 | 2008-04-30 08:05:00 | They're exploiting modern man's weakness - our thirst for petrol. They know we're screwed if we didn't have it, so they decided to be immoral bastards and let their greedy mouths suck money from our wallets. Well, I'm not surprised. Moral businesses can never stand on their feet these days. |
