Ah! So we found at least one reason: the item 3 seems to touch the nerve.
One source says that the retail price of unleaded (does the Brits still use
leaded gas as well) is everything from 88.9 to 101.9 per litre in Britain.
So the most expensive fuel is almost 15% more expensive than the cheapest
gas. And based on my experience here in Finland, prices have not been too
stable. 10% differences in very short time frames (132 is 5.6% more than
125). Naturally mechanism to settle retail prices can be totally different
in Britain but I doubt that. The compilation the newspaper used isn't
necessarily an average but can be a median or about any composite factor.
