Order of Business

It is especially annoying in that it is the only filling station which leads to the western motorway and represents the only chance for a great number of miles to obtain petrol. One is left without the opportunity to shop around on the route despite the fact that there is another filling station in Dublin which sells petrol for €1.02.9. How can there be a divergence of €1.27 per gallon in the price of petrol? It is a very significant sum of money given that the price of oil is down to $60 per barrel, with each barrel representing 80 gallons. Such divergences are unacceptable, especially where people have no choice.
