Petrol continues to go up and up

Petrol prices have gone up yet again. (See: http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/newsdetail1.asp?storyID=79750) It's now 155.9 cents/litre - unreal. But it is very good to see that Gull has not raised its price (well, not today anyway!) Isn't this how it's supposed to be? Isn't there supposed to be competition amoung the petrol companies? Yeah right!

Now it is very strange that petrol prices have gone up today considering that the price of oil has gone down about $5 a barrel since last week - it just doesn't make any sense does it? (See: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/search/story.cfm?storyid=%1E%FB%F8%C5%29%B7%BD%40)

Even though I did not buy any petrol on Monday, the petrol boycott didn't seem to work. (See: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/search/story.cfm?storyid=%1E%FB%F8%C5%29%B3%BAB) Bugger! What can we do to get the price of petrol down? I don't think we can do anything. The oil barrons just want more and more money!!
