    Eh? Despite fuel costs having rocketed freight rates are on the floor and have been for a few years.

    Shipping is also priced in US$. All impacts on the raw product cost.

    Refining margins have improved as UK capacity has been reduced.

    You said that shipping costs have increased. They haven't. Yes the exchange rate makes a difference but not that much.

    That was wrong, was meant to say 6p, dunno why I doubled it :o

    Probably about 10p for petrol from the 138p high though.

    On another note, this Bold Black Cherry cider is rather nice!

    Twice as nice as normal cider ? ;)
