Market Manipulation Suspicion on Oil Prices

Fair Fuel UK have revealed that EU competition authorities have ‘raided’ some of the offices of Oil companies and offices that contain Oil price information on the suspicion that the figures have been manipulated.

The EU investigation is trying to analyse whether we have been ripped off for fuel over the years or not. The much anticipated result of this investigation is still unknown but it shows the urgency for the truth in how the Oil market is run. If it is uncovered that Oil companies have been fabricating fuel prices then it will result in a huge scandal as the banks will need to fix the LIBOR interest rate.

FFUK have been recently campaigning to stop the increase and promote a decrease of the price of fuel duty. The campaign is supported by over 365,000 members of the public and business such as the RHA and FTA.
