The government.
They rake in more from the rise in the price of crude through fuel tax and the tax on the tax, VAT, well over 70% of the price of fuel is tax. They will rake in far more from the current rises in fuel prices than they would by sticking a few pence more tax on.
Roll on the next fuel protest.

spot on - boycott who you like but it wont reduce prices. Now, if we all refused to use our own motor powered transport and use public transport.....the country would stop and the economic impact would be huge, which may wake the suits up...
it is not just supply and demand either, as supply in the states is equal/higher than ours, yet their price remains low
tax is the burden
