Slightly incorrect reporting (and headline) .... :)

It is NOT the price of "petrol" that is being investigated, but the setting of crude oil prices at the highest level, exactly the same problem that the LIBOR market had some months back .. :)

Sure we all know this anyway but no doubt this investigation will be forgotten about and the results buried somewhere for the next 100yrs

The price of oil is manipulated right from the start by OPEC and a cartel of producers like OPEC in any other industry would be against international trade laws!  >:(

funny that it took the EU to investigate.

No government wants low fuel prices as that means lower tax revenues. Not a political comment just a statement of fact regardless of country or government.
