Oil was not at record highs this time last year.

I purposely didn't say 'this time last year', I said 'last year'. The simple reason is the petro industry was skimming the public this time last year as oil fell from it's high in the summer.

sorry, not aimed at you.

I was just showing that considering the oil cost changes the changes in price have not been massive.
When oil was at it's lowest so was the £ against the $. The lowest price for petrol was this year.
I think the price we are seeing now is not that steep really, I think everyone has forgotten when it was 135p+

The main point to remember is that the price of crude is rising and rising. We're not seeing rises at pump because of tax, its all crude. Nor is it rip off Britain - according to the AA we have only the 13th highest price for unleaded.

Ultimately we are seeing what happens when demand soars for a finite resource. Whilst there is crude aplenty left, new finds are increasingly difficult and therefore expensive to extract. It no wonder prices are where they are. In the long term its only going to get worse, not better.

I thought the $/£ exchange rate had a bearing on petrol prices, not just the barrel price.
