No there wouldn't. Retail fuel supplies in the UK are pretty much limited by processing capacity, so "all using one supplier" simply means that all the other suppliers sell their fuel to the "one supplier" that we are all using. Net effect on profits = zero. The whole thing of fuel supply is pretty much a cartel in europe. Most of the price is tax, and most of the suppliers sell to each other to ensure demand is met.
"I bet" doesn't carry much weight in business, unless you are a stockbroker.
And for all the "i need to drive to get to work" people. You'll find that somewhere between 75-85% of you don't. Obv. dependent on where you live/what you do.
It's something like 85% of all domestic/commuting car journeys in Europe could be replaced by walking, cycling, bus or train. It won't be long before its cheaper and easier to do that, rather than drive........
