The benevolence of the petrol station manager
A Devon petrol station is charging drivers more than £1.99 a litre - or about £9 a gallon - for petrol and diesel as drivers clamour for fuel.
He said the move was prompted by dwindling stocks. "We cannot get any more supplies. We're not being mean. I would say I'm a very nice person. The price will go back to normal as soon as we get a delivery."

UPDATE: £1.99 it is no more. The free market is out, rationing is in. Tim Harford comments.
