UK drivers face being “priced off the road” as forecourts continued to raise prices despite falling wholesale costs. The RAC says the hikes are unjustifiable and retailers must cut pump…

One woman started a Mumsnet thread asking: am I being unreasonable to want to weep at fuel costs?

And a third said: "Between petrol/gas/electric I'm really, really feeling the pinch more than usual. Not much left after paying for those plus groceries." RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams estimated that retailers are making a "shocking" 19p profit on every litre of fuel they sell, more than three times the pre-pandemic figure of 6p.

"The wholesale petrol price, which is what retailers pay to buy new supply, dropped by 10p from mid-November, so we can’t see how any increase – let alone a 3p one – was warranted."

So..you should be putting pressure on this corrupt and sleazy government to act ..and Fast!!

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Arnoldnike93 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

What else are they supposed to when government said they literally want to bankrupt them. Policy that's driving this. Keep voting for liberals if you want to be broke. They're not for the middle class like they claim
