How very true but 'Rip off Britain' will never alter.
1.08 GBP per litre UK for 95 Unleaded.
1.36 EUR per litre in France (Came through yesterday)
1.14 EUR per litre in Spain (Got some this morning)
The US $ is down against the two currencies.
It is the first time that I have experienced France charging more for fuel than the UK.
Petrol expected to Increase next week due to trouble in Nigeria and it would not surprise me if an increase is also on the cards due to the strike in Scotland?
