Tony, the way the rises work is basically the fuel company needs to put 1p on the price of a litre, so in order to see their 1p gain, they have to put 5p on cause the government get 80% of it.

So its not the government choosing the prices, its the retailer, but when they do so, its the government that profits the most, by a BIG margin.
