Right then ... I just watched the lunchtime news and only ahandfuil of protesters turned out today so there is no interruption to fuel. No interruption other than some garages selling a whole week's worth in one day and so having to wait for the next scheduled delivery.

According to the AA Motoring Trust who monitor pump prices around the country, the average price actually fell on Monday, but yesterday the prices went up which is shouldn't have done (price of oil went down). This gives credence to the rumours that some garages are profiteering and pushing prices up in the panic. They are expecting the prices to drop to below "pre Katrina" prices, but it won't be until the current supply/demand settles down, so probably week after next. Retailer association say prices should come down next week by about 4p per litre.

Here endeth the news.
