It acquired a refinery from Texaco in Cardiff from 2006 which was expanded in 2010 in UK which it owns 100% of which Greenergy also acquired. Inver Energy started as local oil and fuel distributor, had begun its expansion with into Marine Fuels acquiring that business from Maxol and since 2012 is developing from the South and West gradually building its national network of forecourt retailers both company owned and business people's branded supplier stations in the midlands and next North and East.

The usage and pricing of gasoline results from factors such as crude oil prices, processing and distribution costs, local demand, the strength of local currencies, local taxation, and the availability of local sources of gasoline (supply). Since fuels are traded worldwide, the trade prices are similar. The price paid by consumers largely reflects national pricing policy. Most countries impose taxes on gasoline (petrol), which causes air pollution and climate change; whereas a few, such as Venezuela, subsidize the cost. Some country's taxes do not cover all the negative externalities, that is they do not make the polluter pay the full cost. Western countries have among the highest usage rates per person. The largest consumer is the United States.
