Polluted petrol

[perose]

Just to let you all know that if you are at all concerned about your car after filling up at "Tesco" if you ring freephone 0800505555 they will tell you if your local store was affected or not, and if so, like mine, they will take details and get someone to call you back with help. We are still waiting and keeping our fingers crossed, good job it is a bad weather forecast for tomorrow because we will not mind staying at home !

When poor quality goods are sold, most businesses would expect to bear the cost of putting it right. Instead, the supermarkets are putting the prices up 2p a litre to cover it. I don't think I shall be filling up at supermarkets again.

Far too simplistic Grunty. Petrol is one of the most sensitive products to laws of supply and demand. If a sudden shortage occurs the spot price will rise. They are obviously not going to destroy this petrol - it will be cleaned up and put back into the supply chain. With margins so tight on fuel it is bound to have a short term impact.
