Petrol forecourt operators have hit back against the government's suggestion they are price gouging at the pump following the oil price surge since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband told the BBC the government "will not tolerate" profiteering from the conflict and said the competition watchdog is primed to step in stop "rip-offs".
The oil price surge since the Iran war began has led to soaring bills for heating oil users and higher fuel prices at forecourts.
However, petrol retailers, who are meeting the government at Downing Street later today, have said they are not making any more money and accused the government of "posturing".
"This is more about making the government look good," one big firm told the BBC.
