Why Pick On Petrol Claims of Industry Cost Burden Rise
The Petroleum industry argues it is undercharged and victimised by devaluation and cost inflation. It cites a 14 percent price rise since the war, thinner margins, and a 3.3 percent after tax return on £111 million funds, contrasting with 8.1 percent profits for manufacturers in 1951-53. The industry says tax cuts and price controls harm distributors and force a costly one-brand system.
