I know a bit about oil and the like...as I am currently working for a big (like BIG) petrochemical concern. Tehy are happy if they make 1p per litre profit on maingrade fuel and 3-5p per litre on the "premium" stuff. The rest of the price at the pump is duty - about 70% of the cost at the pump is added by Mr Brown in varying duties, taxes and VAT. Twat

Err yeah......because of course Mr Brown spends the money on hookers and crack-parties, rather than spending it on schools, hospitals, roads, etc.
