So, less than a fortnight after Georgie Boy's "rabbit out of the hat" budget trick - fuel duty frozen again - we've just seen two price increases around our way and both are now 3p a litre more. Still a lot cheaper than a couple of year's ago. But is this the fuel companies taking advantage by putting their prices up at a convenient time? Call me an old cynic if you like!

We've noticed an increase in fuel prices too. We could fill up at selected filling stations at less than a pound a litre. Yesterday, the diesel at Sainsbury's, Tamworth was £1.009 a litre. Not massive, but other places show a bigger increase.

Well Moulesy, what do you expect? The price of oil rose this week.

Funny how it took months for the drop in oil prices to reach the pumps......

The money grabbing cartel of petrol stations around here never dropped the fuel price below £I.029, it is now £1.069, I won't say what I think of them as I'll be banned. I go to Asda five miles away and fill up both m'home and two twenty litre cans to put in the car, that way I do make a small profit without giving the money grabbers here a penny...

Oh, that's almost everywhere then, we thought it was just around here as all the holidaymakers are here for the Easter break. Holiday times lots of things go up in Devon. (And the rain tends to come down)
