What they haven't mentioned in the news is that Grangemouth is about to have a shutdown on some of its refinery heaters, so the strike at the same time fits in nicely for them.
It's not the refinery or owners that are pushing the price up it's the garage owners now looking to make a killing on fuel they brought at say a 20% profit margin are now selling it at 60% profit margin because they know as soon as the media say "there's no need to panic buy" everyone goes into panic mode and buys more than they need.
I remember the last one i needed to fill up to go home for the weekend and this bloke who had been quing for about 45min infront of me filled up his car and 6 jerry cans and was giong home to get more!.
