Default Petrol Prices - BBC Watchdog

I was wondering if anyone else watched this? Basically they said that the OFT is going to make an enquiry about retailers fixing fuel prices. I can't help but think that this whole enquiry is a waste of time. Increasing fuel prices is affecting many logistical businesses in the UK. Anne Robinson reported that the fuel prices were set to go up by 5p per litre in the next week. The greedy fuel companies are going cover their tracks and I know nothing will happen with the so called "investigation".

Yes, I saw it too. The usual story: prices go up quickly in response to crude/wholesale prices; and come down slowly, if at all. Fingers crossed that the OFT does get a result
