    Oh so it turns out all the garages are just ramping up prices, what a surprise.

    Edit – Jesus Christ people get so mad. When I flippantly said garages I meant all the different oil suppliers to the garages. Any one of them could have stayed at the same profit level to leave the pump prices lower, but they all chose to raise prices and hence profits.

    Predictable as a clock.

    Now the banks and everyone else can have a big pay day too as they increase our mortgage rates and grocery prices as a result of this inflation.

    Just remind people of this when they bang on about opening up new north sea oil yeah? The profits are for them, not you plebs 🤦‍♂️

    Just like during covid, it’s all bollocks, they just taking the piss with the prices

    Oil companies thrive off war. Look at trump and Venezuela – openly admitting they are taking oil. Our companies are no different. The ceos glee and rub their hands at the notion of people dying in war.

    Hey, remember that time we called our buddies in the US to come help is coup the fledging democracy of Iran because the Mossadegh government was trying to nationalise the Anglo-Iranian oil company?

    Guess what they rebranded to!

    So how have they doubled their already ridiculous profits if they haven’t been exploiting people?

  9. Helpful-Juggernaut33 on

    So there was no need to raise the prices then. This should be a national scandal.

    The government is making more than the oil companies in fuel taxes – for doing exactly nothing- at least the oil companies take the risk and pay for the extraction and distribution

  11. Double the profits should equal double the tax.

    But it won’t

    lol all the people claiming “they’re raising prices because that’s how fuel economics works!!!!!!”

    Pro-capitalism feudal serf sycophants never change.

    I would’ve thought higher prices meant that any shortage of oil would be offset by the higher price? But, no.. they’re just price gouging.

    These are rage bait news. Who would had thought that companies who apply their margins and sell products over would have more profit if the base price of the product increases.

    We have a lot of problems, big petrol price is a problem too, but this news is business as usual 🤷‍♂️

    Theres no profit it peace boys, so we’re gunna fight some more!

    Thank god. Won’t someone please think of the oil companies.

    BP garages are always consistently about 10-15p per litre more expensive than other garages.

    I’ll always actively avoid them.

  18. That’s what I couldn’t understand, if there was a shortage why was petrol not rationed by the government instead of prices increasing. It’s like during covid oil companies had record profits. So no matter what happens they win? Catastrophes are good business
