Petrol Station Owners, You SUCK!!

Everytime when the government announces that the petrol price will go up, do these owners make any noise when they are earning a lot? The past price rise see's the owner pocketing 0.80 per litre.. and most of the petrol station had sold out signs placed out. Miracalously by midnight after the petrol prices has been updated, workers removed these sign and the petrol station resumes business.

Now government announces that the price will drop. Owners are saying that they will lose out if they keep too much stock. If my maths is correct, 0.80-0.25=0.55. One still earned quite a large sum of money from the price increase. By not having enough petrol supply, these owners had inconvenient the public especially knowing that its the festive season.

Petrol companies should enforce some rule and these owners should comply in order to avoid future such incidents since the government will be revising prices every now and then. Maybe they can ensure the owner of the last order prior to the increase to be at the old price but the amount is the average history of the stocks taken to be fair to all owners.
