Regulate the sale of petrol and diesel
There is no regulator, such as Ofgem, for the pricing of petrol and diesel at forecourts and, in particular, motorway service stations. I believe such a regulator is urgently needed.
Why is this important?
Lack of regulation is leading to a post code lottery with regards to forecourts and service stations, with oulets from the same supplier within a few miles of each other charging different prices. When wholesale fuel prices fall these savings are not always passed on to the consumer, whereas increases invariably lead to immediate price hikes. Consumers are being ripped off.
