Of course I know that, but it has to be refined and the cost of doing so affects the price provided to the petrol stations. Oil could be $10 a barrel but if the refiners kept putting up their costs then the price of petrol would continue to rise.

Well there are lots of factors that come in to play i guess, biggest one being out government taking about 70% of the price in tax and yet our roads are full of pot holes because councils keep spending the money on stupid arty statues in the middle of roundabouts

ASDA are dropping theirs to 99.9p per litre, will Tesco and Sainsbury follow?

I don't care about BP, SHELL, TOTAL etc as I will never buy from a oil company again.

and out of the 99.9p / liter for fuel, most of it is fuel duty and VAT. info here which is why I don't see how the government can say high prices is the fuel company's fault
