Fairly straightforward Jim.

How much does it cost the oil company to get a litre of petrol to the pump in order that the motorist can put it in his car? Compare that to how much it costs a distillery to get a litre of whisky to a warehouse?

Profit to the oil company is in terms of pennies per litre.

Profit to the distiller is in terms of pounds per litre.

Ratio production cost : profit per litre, which is the biggest rip-off? I'll side with MGOH on this petrol is quite good value for money, whisky at the current prices is a rip-off.
