Why does the diesel gap keep widening?
I AM writing in the hope that someone from the fuel supplying fraternity will be able to answer my question.
Last year petrol and diesel was the same price, and as 2007 progressed the differential between these two have got wider.
Initially by a few pence a litre but now here we are and the difference is about 10p a litre or 50p per galloon.
Before anybody gets on the bandwagon about the price of crude oil per barrel, I realise that the Middle East has the whip hand concerning the price, but I am going on about the differential between petrol and diesel.
The price is rising so fast at the pumps, where it might have increased by 1p a litre within a month it is now increasing by 2-3p per litre.
The fuel companies say it is the price they pay, but still their profits go up.
Who is trying to make us look idiots, the garages or the fuel companies?
What is the differential between petrol and diesel, could it be something to do with more diesel vehicles being sold?
