All the time we are hearing that due to the world wide price of oil that Petrol pump prices have to rise to cover the extra cost - so wtf** is the 36% jump in profits all about?

Yes we have to pay for the increased on cost/delivery of petrol - but 'Corporate Greed' is the only phrase I can think of to explain the 36% increase in profits.

Trying to make a crude pun, but can't think of anything.
