Profiteering?

When you get justifiably angry about the appalling 26% rise in petrol prices this year when the cost of a barrel of oil has actually fallen - please feel free to pillory the oil giants!

Never forget however, as you pay your £5 a gallon that some £3-75 of that goes directly to the government.

Would I mind paying BP, Shell et al the £1-25 for a gallon which is roughly the price they charge? And with a reasonable 25p extra to the chancellor? - No, not me!

I might even be persuadable for a further 25p were the road fund licence to be abolished.
