Drivers now charged almost £2 a litre

Shameful, discussing, profiteering. These are what during the Second World War they used to call the black marketeers. To be honest tar and feathering was too good for them and far to good for greedy garage owners who are profiteering from this fuel strike.

I hope that when the strike is over that the tanker drivers REFUSE TO DELIVER to garages who are charging vastly inflated prices for the few precious litres of fuel that they are supplying to desperate motorist.

At the very least the motorists who normally fuel up at these garages should start a boycott until the garage owners go bankrupt. This may well serve as a warning to others.

The biggest con appears to be by a Devon petrol station boss charging drivers £1.99 a litre – more than £9 a gallon – for petrol and diesel. Prices at the BWOC Foxhayes Garage at Exwick, Exeter, Devon, are nearly double the average £1.18 pence per litre price for petrol in the area.

Since this appears to be such a bad case of exploitation this garage has been added to the Pigs at the Trough web site normally reserved for our esteemed leaders.
