BBrown - You're right of course, there's a baseline price. Even if a barrel of crude comes out of the ground for nothing, the cost of refining, transporting and tax will keep the retail price at around the £1 mark.
The only issue I would take is that it's not HMRC that sets the duty rate, it's the government in the shape of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
