I doubt the choice will be available. Do you imagine you will be offered fuel made from fracking out of a separate pump?

If BP had it all, they'd still be dearer than everyone else OK, Shell then, or if 1 brand had a sign "fuel from fracked shale oil" The firm in charge of it all has an office in Lichfield, there are no pickets there! |

Your question supposes that fracked oil would produce cheaper fuel than other oil sources. Oil markets simply don't work that way. Supply and demand dictates the price, not the source. If it did, diesel from Saudi oil would be much cheaper than diesel from North Sea oil or from fracking. As for a garage which advertised fracked fuel only, most people will buy either the cheapest or the best quality, depending on their means or preference. Fracked fuel would be neither cheaper or better. Certainly a sizeable minority would refuse to buy it on principal but only the most stupid would actually go out of their way to buy fracked fuel for it's own sake. BTW There are no pickets anywhere. Dissent is no longer tolerated
