The UK and other governments are 'printing' money like there's no tomorrow. The banks are buying up crude and refined oil as an investment. Each time the government 'prints' money, it devalues the pound in your pocket but the total amount in the banks increase therefore they remain profitable.
Your £1.37.9 per litre is really 85p a litre in the value of money ten years ago. However, wages don't increase. There will be decrease in the value of wages until it matches China's level.
Petrol station up the road from me switched from Total to Shell recently. As Total it was usually 4 - 5p/litre more than the nearby Sainsbury's/ASDA/Morrison's supermarkets; as Shell, it's consistently about 1p more. I suspect it works out cheaper to fill up there than make the four mile round trip to Sainsbury's if I only need half a tank or so.
