The cost of OIL is about 47% what it was this time last year yet we are paying a mere 10 to 15 cent a liter less. Surely it should be a lot less than this.

Is there a logical explanation for this.

Or is it the usual one that some greedy fuck is stroking us once again.

Opinions please......

The worlds worst criminals dont wear chains or stripes or tracksuits or boiler suits or live in caravans.

They wear nice smart suits have cufflinks are clean shaven live in lovely houses with perfectly manicured gardens and would sell their grandmother for an extra buck. Its easy when you are completely amoral.
