Does anyone know why the price of LPG has not come down even though petrol
has come down by 10% in only a few weeks?

Fuel companies are greedy *******s.

I gather the LPG prices tend to lag behind diesel and petrol. probably less
throughput.

In the short term, if you're a supplier who's just bought (say) 500,000
litres, you have to sell it based on the price you bought it at, not based
on what the petrol price is.

Mind, that doesn't stop them putting it up, when prices go up, so I suspect
there's some truth in Mr. Firth's assertion.

The LPG prices have come down recently, here in Scotland, by about 5p, at
Jet and Morrisons :-)
