Erm, he did say our prices are lower than most countries. Basic Adam Smith capatilism economics doesnt completely apply to monopolies. While prices are lower than most countries exon (esso) keeps them high so they make shitloads of money at our expense. A couple of months ago exon broke their profit record but this hasnt become an issue untill recently. The media is playing everybody with their selective coverage.
