£1.20 for fuel - absolutely disgraceful! (not)

If someone has to divert in for emergency/weather reasons, and they are going to get ripped off like this (pretty standard charge) for fuel, we need a campaign for free fuel uplift for emergency/weather diversions. It is only right and proper that an airfield should pick up the charges for everything to do with flying if there is an emergency or weather diversion involved.
Imagine the safety implications of someone trying to forge on those extra few miles just to be able to pick up cheaper fuel at a more distant aerodrome due to the non-participation of a particular airfiled in the scheme. Perhaps AOPA's CS could take this on?
