A dispatch from cynics corner:

I see petrol retailers are mobilising the defence of high prices, and implying a need to cover the costs of thefts of petrol from forecourts..... of course, they'll admit thefts rise with the petrol price, but will use these losses to justify retaining higher prices for longer - especially now the Chancellor has been warning firms about price-gouging during the oil crisis wrought by the US attacks on Iran.
