Big deal.

Oil companies and refiners make about **10c a gallon ** profit on fuel. That’s after doing all the work of bringing the oil to the surface, cracking it and refining it.

Whereas the British Treasury makes **351 cents per gallon ** and does nothing whatever to earn this.

Who are the sharks again? Hint: its not “market speculators”. It’s the British Government.
