Petrol prices: UK supermarkets and fuel retailers ‘ripping off drivers’
Even as wholesale costs of both unleaded petrol and diesel in the UK are falling due to the Omicron variant, pumps are increasing their prices for their own gains, the RAC has said.
The automotive services company said drivers of petrol cars are losing out £5.5m ($7.3m) a day based on current prices and is urging retailers to cut pump prices immediately.
RAC spokesperson Simon Williams told the BBC: "Drivers are being ripped off." He said the UK's supermarkets account for selling 50% of fuel and remain slow to pass on any drop in wholesale rates to customers. "Prices go up like a rocket, but fall like a feather".
At a time when the cost of surviving (not living) rises to an all time high, this is just the icing on the cake, and MUST be addressed immediately.
People living on minimum wage, families who are barely able to put food on the table need all the help they can get, we need to come together and stand up for what is fair and right. We are sick and tired of the rich living off the poor!!
Our Government needs to step in and put a stop to this.

Why is this important?
Because we are the only people that can stand up for the families who suffer, those making huge profits are only interested in their bank balance, while those who need our help are living in debt.
