BP pushes fuel prices above average

Today, BP on Warton road left little doubt that they are in the forefront of high fuel prices.

The price is well above what any other service station in that area reported and it should let us wonder why that is?

Certainly the australian economy is good, especially versus the US dollar.

Yahoo Finance reports the exchange rate to be at $0.85 so we can only speculate to the rise of unleaded fuel at BP.

Will the ACCC look into this or will they continute to keep their eyes closed regardless of the statements made lately with prison sentences being on the cards for not keeping the fuel prices accurately.

Warnings has come out that we can expect a price rise due to the demand that the US summer holidays will put onto the petrol companies, but that is still days away.

Has BP pushed the price up early in an attempt to gain an early profit?
