Default FUEL PRICES . . . ?

I've noticed (in Leic at least) V-Power gradually creeping up. Was around 116/117 ppl for ages. Last 3 weeks crept up to 119. Today 'jumped' to 123.

Would this be as a direct cause of the 31year low of the £ (seeing as oil is sold in $USD)?

Opec kept oil production high, to stop America producing so much oil. Make it uneconomical for America to produce it's own oil.

Now they've reduced production, expect petrol prices to start rising strongly again.

- The Narbs lol Rd one.

It's all but around the corner from me and also closest to my work - so it's the most convenient/economical one for me to use, on an everyday basis.


- It actually only went up to that 123 on the one day. Next day it was back to 119. It's been at 121 for a few days now.

I'd like to know why V-Power in Crumlin is always 5p per litre cheaper than it is anywhere in Oxfordshire. Back to the Peugeot and filtered chip fat soon!
