Exactly. But if you take it further. Just after the last petrol blockades a couple of years ago petrol dropped to about £0.87 per litre. Now if you compare that to the current £1.02 we are paying 15p a litre more, which on a 40 litre tank adds up to now paying £6 more each time you fill up. Or on my car, which has a 60 litre tank, I'm now paying an extra £9 each time!

The argument "does an extra 1p really matter?" does matter because if we keep letting them add an extra 1p on to the price, it quickly goes up and up.

This is even worse when you consider that the price of a barrel of oil is now actually falling in price!
