I like this part:

"Tesco said it had increased its prices by 1p per litre on Monday – the second such rise in a fortnight. It said the rises were down to the increasing wholesale cost of fuel and came before the shutdown at the Coryton refinery.
But data used by petrol retailers showed Sainsbury, Esso and BP have all raised their prices by varying amounts this week.W

It pretty much says 'This increase was nothing to do with the refinery shutdown. We've not factored that into our prices.Now that that has happened, it's going to increase the price even more.'

Not sure how many people have picked up on that little beaut! haha

Just waiting for 3 more jerry cans to come today that will take more total storage capacity to 200 L.

basic economics when an item is in demand and supply is restricted prices go up. A fact of life.
