Because of this graph http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/fds/hi/business/market_data/commodities/143908/three_month.stm
Oil price has gone up nearly 50% in 3 months
Although we have been slightly insulated from it by this graph

But that's still not that much. It came down $100 a barrel, and petrol dropped about 30p a litre. It goes up $20 and petrol jumps 20p a litre, almost. And the exchange rate is moving in our favour. It's just profiteering from the oil companies.

Oil prices rise, so too does the £ to $ so it should be too unstable. Fingers crossed anyway. £ is looking stronger against $ and € :-)Plan
