One Kirkcaldy petrol station - Rix Garage - made the news last night for raising fuel prices to an arse-clenching £1.45 a litre.  This on the back of the nervousness about the upcoming Grangemouth refinery strike -- but really, as there are ample stocks and this is pure naked gouging.  I do hope someone has put a brick through their windows. 

Will this focus attention on fuel prices?  For sure - nobody's paying attention to the actual strike, everyone's watching the pumps.  I'd like to think that the shock might nudge people towards leaner vehicles and alt.fuels, but who am I kidding?  The polar melt will make all that delicious Arctic oil available soon.
