| FAIRFUELUK’S MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT IN OFT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Reacting to news that the OFT believes the UK petrol/diesel market is ‘working well’, Quentin Willson of FairFuelUK said, ‘UK consumers will be bitterly disappointed.'
'The nation will feel let down. Quite frankly, I’m shocked. The OFT investigated in 1998 and now have done so again. Every motorist and business in Britain instinctively knows that ‘something’s not right’. The Americans and the Germans are holding inquiries – why aren’t we. The OFT appears to have failed to address the key issues of : why diesel is more expensive than unleaded in the UK when this is not the case in Europe, why falls in the Oil price take so long to be reflected at the pump and why there are such variations in price, often from the same branded forecourts, within the same area. They did not address the whistleblower evidence of potential ‘rigging’ of the Oil commodity market. Where is the fairness in all of this?

| The OFT members should be forced to publicly declare if they have either relationship to or shares etc in anything to do with the oil industry. It could make fastenating reading after all we recently had the case of Dave Hartnett, the Permanent Secretary for Tax at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) who left his job hurriedly after first making a gift of £10million in favour of Goldman Sachs and has been rewarded for this with a top job working as an investigator for a mobile phone giant. It takes a thief to catch a thief I suppose!!
