I have noticed recently, that the price of petrol has been creeping up faster than diesel. In fact I have seen it in some garages, higher than diesel. Can you tell me what has changed, to erode the past differential?

Speculation in refined fuels, helped by 14 tankers anchored off Sidmouth waiting for the fuel ‘futures’ price to rise and, by denying supply, ensuring it did rise to the futures price. This was recently discussed at Belusconi’s summit.
