    So apparently we're not being ripped off with petrol prices in the UK. :erm:

    One person summed it all up quite nicely on the BBC website:

    "Dear Motorist

    Bend over

    Regards

    OFT"

    I'd agree with the AA in that this is a 'whitewash' and missed opportunity

    Hmm, on the one hand...

    The British Motorist, with a car with a fairly empty diesel (probably!) tank, needing to get home/to a meeting/to school/to the airport, stuck in the Middle of Nowhere /on the M25/etc

    On the Other Hand

    Some of the world's largest corporations..

    Looks pretty evenly matched, wouldn't you say?

    (I do wonder if any member of the OFT's staff have ever filled a car up at South Mimms Services, on the M25 at Junction 23?)

    How about we rename OFT to OUT = Office of Unfair Trading
