So do they simply keep fining them every few years or do they have to stop as well? Did the price of your petrol go down? I'm fairly sure in New Zealand they would be fined AND would have to change their practices. Happened recently with most of the banks and credit card charges. Now our credit card statements show all the fees broken down in detail.
