They don't have enough control over the price to not make a huge loss. Retailer mark up on fuel is only a couple of %. The people who effectively set the price are the taxman and the producer, so as long as fuel is being bought somewhere, the main "owners" of the price won't be affected. So prices aren't likely to drop more than a couple of pence.

Very true. But in whole, who cares about the retailers? We see those 5p/10p/15p off per litre deals from super markets if we spend so much in store, so they must use fuel as a loss leader. I bet tho if every one used one supplier there would be an even more of a price war, thus making it better, only a small amount. At the other end we could just all boy cott filling up, thus not going any where.
I do agree its all the Goverments fault fuel is the price it is. but do we do anything about it??
