petrol prices

[shaking]

that garage in essex which is charging �1.99 per litre should be boycotted by everyone when the petrol dispute is over, do you agree?

[willzyman247]

I heard about that on the radio today. They say they are doing it to limit demand and not for profits. I don't believe it though. I think they are just trying to cash in. If their prices don't go back to before the dispute when it's over then yes they should be boycotted.

he won't have a business when the strike is over if everyone boycots the garage, serves him right.

I was in a shop this morning and the shopkeeper was saying that people on benefits who have a car have been given an extra �30 a week to cover rising petrol cost. If it's true I am seething. Has anyone else heard this ?

Sorry jillius, but it sounds like rubbish to me.

It has put the prices back to normal now, but put a maximum �5 per customer limit on.

(it was also in Devon, not in Essex)
