Prevent fuel companies increasing prices as soon as oil prices rise.

What the petition asks

The Government must pass a law that stops fuel companies increasing the forecourt prices as soon as it is mentioned that oil prices are rising. The fuel at the pumps and storage tanks were purchased at a lower price, so we think there is no reason to increase so quickly. This must stop now.
Pass a law preventing the fuel companies increasing prices so quickly after mention of oil price rising.
