If you do not live in the UK and have never visited the UK then here are the current low and high oil prices at the moment:
Cheapest unleaded: 107.9p (Gateshead)
Most expensive unleaded: 125p (Northampton)
Cheapest diesel: 117.9p (Mansfield)
Most expensive diesel: 138p (Hexham)
There has been growing concern about the knock on effects on businesses that are reliant on petrol in order to carry out their business. Such concerns have turned attention to the government to abandon the idea of rising petrol prices by another 2p. For some reason I have to wonder if the government is actually looking out for our best interests or not we already have the highest tax on oil. This increase in oil prices has affected airlines and many businesses, some of which are now moving out of the country, if the government wants the UK to go into a recession there going about it in the right way.
