Price of petrol

So if sterling has strengthened against the dollar http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8070253.stm and there's a glut of petrol about, why is the price creeping up by 1p per day?

Something's not right.  Angry Angry

Being cynical it may be the Saudis believe all the hype and nonsense about the world is coming out of recession and thus demand will increase just as they are considering a "cut" in output!
