Kieran O'Donnell: My next question is for Mr. Blevings. Typically, how long would it take for a retailer to use supplies? What would be the longest it would take? Does it take a day, two days or three days to replenish their supplies?

Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. McSorley will appreciate that the public question it when they see this. I was amazed at what I found at 29 of the 33 petrol stations in different locations. I take the point he has made, but the public question it when they see such disparities with a 17 cent difference between the lowest and highest prices for diesel.
