Quote:
Mr Madderson said: "Once again we are going to be accused of profiteering at the pumps when that is simply not true."

He urged the OFT "to step out from the shadows and help consumers by conducting a full market study that will lift the veil of secrecy from the wholesale cost movements".

He also called on Chancellor George Osborne to abandon plans for a fuel duty rise in September 2013, "if fuel costs continue to rise".

If the government cut the duty the oil companies will increase their prices to take all the savings that the Chancellor wanted to give to the driver.

So basically, either it's the Govt's fault, or the oil companies. Either way, it's the average Joe who gets screwed over.

I'll remind of you a graffito I saw in St Albans in 1994: it doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always wins.
