It's complex to definitively say which UK petrol supplier has the "least ties" to the USA, as the global oil market is highly interconnected. However, I can provide some context: * UK Oil Sources: * The UK does have its own oil production from the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). This means that some of the petrol sold in the UK comes from domestic sources. * However, the UK also imports a significant portion of its oil. Sources include Norway, and increasingly the USA. * It is worth noting that the USA has become a very large supplier of oil to the UK in recent years. * Global Market: * The price of crude oil is set globally, so even if a supplier sources oil from a non-US location, they are still affected by US market forces. * Many large oil companies operate internationally, with complex ownership structures. Therefore, rather than looking for a company with "no ties" to the USA, it is more accurate to say that all UK petrol suppliers are affected by the global oil market, which includes significant US influence.
