If people are paying, then how can it be overcharging. Adapt your behaviour if you don’t like it. Get a bike, an electric car, take the bus.
I’d have thought Euro Garages buying up Asda Petrol and reducing competition might be a part of it. After all, no incentive for Asda to cut prices any more when it would undercut Euro Garages main businesses.
The Competition and Markets Authority should have done their job and blocked it.
We’ve looked into our donors and have found they didn’t nothing wrong
But the were very generous in their donation to my election fund
Petrol should be taxed more to reduce usage. It’s am unnecessary luxury that’s destroying the planet.
If you want to control the price of something reduce and cap rent.
“Government to probe food prices after finding supermarkets overcharged drivers by 5p a litre for petrol”
Looks like we’re in for a win guys, just wait till the government sees how much we get overcharged for gas and electric! Oooh, you just watch out Shell and BP… … …
They might want to move that decimal point a couple of places…
Want to save the planet? Fed up of people driving 100 meters for a bottle of milk? You can help with this *one simple trick* !
Its £2 for a packet of fucking hobnobs in most shops now, they deffo grafting the prices.
Nothing will come of this. It’s just more bullshit.
If you think the gov’t which brought us the bag tax (a greenwashed way to boost supermarket profits) is going to do a damn thing about this then I have a bridge to sell you.
They better act since i notice my local Esso went backup by 2p today!
Sainsburys was selling diesel for £1.40 a litre today. I’m not afraid to say I filled the tank up to the top.
Morrison’s often do a ‘spend £35, get 5p off per litre’ deal. Wonder if that’s part of this.
Tories: let’s investigate
Also Tories: don’t punish my rich mates
Wholesale price of diesel this morning was 103.6.
They’re overcharging by a fuck of a lot more than five pence. The CMA is absolutely fucking clueless.
Saw some skullduggery at Sainsburys: they matched a product at “aldi price” they were already originally selling cheaper the week before, only £0.20 cheaper but still increased to aldi price by 10% seems kinda fucky to me.
“Government pretending to vaguely probe something in populist stunt to win back support after humiliating local election result”
When they dropped the duty by 5p most garages charged nothing on their price boards for weeks. 5p extra per litre.. thanks very much (they said to themselves).
supermarket self scanners – scan a carrier bag, then scan your food, at the end of scanning your food it will ask you if you’ve used a bag, if you hit yes it will charge you twice for it
petrol – when the gov cut fuel duty, supermarkets kept that inflated price for weeks, and in some places its still pushing almost £1.50 where in others its £1.36
Food – Tesco CEO said openly on question time that some super markets are taking the absolute piss and profiteering on food, thats the last anyone said about it
​
Stop using supermarkets, shop local, support your peers and your own areas economy.
And 16p was it for diesel? our goverments cant and wont do shit.
Competition should be taking care of this, but for some reason competition appears to be dead in the UK.
Is the populace so resigned to the idea that they’re going to get ripped off regardless that they don’t shop around?
Every station around me is at 146.9. For months. Maybe a 147.9, a 146.9. But that’s it.
One town down – about 7 miles – its 136.9. In the nearest major city, Birmingham, Petrol Prices says 137.8.

I just don’t get how they can operate like that.
