Where or not the consumer is fooled by them is another matter. Only the
really stupid were fooled by unilevers claim that the marmite on the
shelves should cost more because it was made before the brexit vote.

Does that apply to petrol and gas, etc? You always pay the price it cost
when it was made?

How about your favourite Apple products?


Petrol and gas are two different cases. Petrol prices are determined
by the current price of oil and a competitive market.

Wrong. Petrol prices are determined by government taxation and fuel duty.

They are fueled by both tax, government and availility of the product.
