I can't believe the utter BS being spilled by the petrol forecourt companies.

When people say that petrol and other goods are more expensive on motorway services, they try to defend the extortionate prices by saying 'running costs are higher on motorways'.

When the government reduced petrol prices, some petrol stations didn't pass on the savings for a few days. they claimed it was to 'get rid of old stock'.

Now that there's a scare on, some forecourts are inflating their fuel prices and on the radio this morning one of the bigwigs from Total said the rise in prices was to 'cover the costs of the wages for the extra staff brought in to help during the demand'.

'Total' BS.
