I know that prices are <i>'supposed'</i> to come down in line with more local competition and I'm sure that there is just that in the East Midlands but even so - 10p a litre more is just plain greedy.<br /><br />A mate I play sport with locally said that he was in the Swan Garage the other day and a guy behind him said that 'BBC TV Midlands Today' were going to be coming along as the Swan Garage were [apparently] <i>"one of the most expensive in the county"</i>. This same mate added that <i>strangely</i> the Swan Garage's prices then went <b>down</b> the following day.Bumblebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950659804622929292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688430817933604545.post-91241146170240207802011-03-24T21:04:00.135+00:002011-03-24T21:04:00.135+00:00Well, according to an industry spokesman, petrol s...Well, according to an industry spokesman, petrol stations have already paid the duty when the fuel has been delivered, so they can't put the price down until their next delivery.
