Think on these:
Oil is paid for in US$.
The US$ is at it's lowest rate for years against GBP.
Petrol prices have risen by 4p over the last month.

Doesn't really add up to me.

BTW, every week I put approx 70 litres in my Ur-q. Price at my regular 
station is 79.9p per litre. Thats approx US$1.50 per litre - US$105 every 
week.

Oh well......
