I drive an EV so no costs from the higher fuel price are being past from you to me
You can't honestly think that if you drive an EV no costs from higher fuel costs are being passed to you?

Well you blame the US/UK/EU for the price hike
If you read my post you’ll see I said increased costs passed on from him / his company.

Correct. Everyone always presents the margin over the wholesale price of petrol/diesel. The forecourts aren't really at fault. If I was BP, Shell etc. I'd charge my forecourts an inflated wholesale price and then claim they aren't marking it up very much over the wholesale price.
Basically what Centrica was doing with British Gas until the price cap came in. They would claim that British Gas is making 2% profit whilst magically Centrica raked in billions in profit.
Except the stations aren't owned by BP, she'll etc they are franchised.
That changes things how? Are they not supplied by BP or Shell?
I also didnt think they were all franchised.
As in your argument is wrong. Because centrica and BG are the same company basically. If you want to claim oil companies are inflating the wholesale price fine, but it has nothing to do with retailers.
Ofc it matters if BP and Shell stations aren't necessarily able to just go source the cheapest petrol/diesel, just like British Gas can't change its supplier from Centrica.
We also dont get to see the exact financial arrangement of franchises.
It all comes from the same refineries, it's not like there is an independent out there supplying fuels cheaper than the big names.

Ofcourse.
Someone in the chain is making a massive amount more money out of this than they used too.
The world didn't suddenly say to humans that is putting the price up or make it harder to extract.
It's just our stupid pyramid scheme global economy that serves to make the rich richer.
Just been forwarded this link, sorry I know it the daily fail. £2.49 for diesel, if the rest of the country was to follow along this line, i can see some people saying they can’t afford to go to work.

Price of diesel hits an eye-watering 249.9p a litre in London
The Gulf service station on Sloane Avenue in Chelsea is charging 249.9p and 238.9p per litre of diesel and petrol respectively as the price of fuel continues to spiral out of control.
Scalping surely. I'm only a few miles south of Chelsea and I "only" paid 1.99 for Shell VPower Diesel last Sunday.Just been forwarded this link, sorry I know it the daily fail. £2.49 for diesel, if the rest of the country was to follow along this line, i can see some people saying they can’t afford to go to work.
