Petrol firms can rake it in from us
IN time-honoured tradition the companies that are the backbone of the motor industry are being provided with increasing means to increase motorists’ costs.
The petroleum giants seize the opportunity to increase the cost of petrol because the “Texan oil fields have been structurally damaged by flood damage”.
As though our fuel supply was provided to a great extent by Texas. Wrong! Not to mention the vast supply of fuel already held on UK shores.
As usual, the ability to increase fuel charges at garages needs to be immediate. Wrong! They certainly won’t reduce charges anywhere near as quickly.

And where are all the charging points going to be situated? The government’s intention to stop the sale of petrol/diesel vehicles in the not-too-distant future is surely impractical with the slow progress this country is renowned for.
And don’t even mention the ludicrous suggestions for HS2. Talk about a North/South divide. An enormous cost for a scheme that suggests miniscule time savings with a projected start date that will see the benefits, to only a few.
