Fuel Prices
I don’t know the conversion factor (price per liter vs $ per gallon) but prices over here vary State to State. I live in Pennsylvania but am just 11 miles from a station in Ohio. At the highest both states were selling regular for $4.99.9. Saturday I filled up the pick-up with regular in Ohio for $3.89.9. 11 miles away back in PA it was $4.59.9.
I know that probably many of you are not Trump fans but when he was in office I was paying on the average of $2.40-ish. Biden’s energy destroying policies have contributed to the meteoric raise in prices we have seen over here. The raise started before any Russia/Ukraine conflict began.

About 1:4.65 at the moment (3.785 litres/US gallon times a just-checked 1.23 USD/GBP), so the tank I'm two-thirds of the way through cost me about $8.85/gal about a fortnight ago. Up from somewhere in the region of $6 in January, or thereabouts, but at least a bit down from the recent peak of over $9.30 (£2/l). Although to be fair I haven't looked up the historic currency rates there but 1.2 is close enough for chewing the fat.Old-Duckman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 3:21 pm I don’t know the conversion factor (price per liter vs $ per gallon)

Trump also wasn't in office during the huge post-pandemic restriction bounceback of global energy demand that's led to the inevitable surge in global oil prices and thus what you're paying at the pump.Old-Duckman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 3:21 pm I don’t know the conversion factor (price per liter vs $ per gallon) but prices over here vary State to State.

You may not like Biden, fine, but you'd be paying way more than your pre-pandemic $2.40/gallon whether Trump was still in power or not, don't kid yourself.
Let's keep politics out of it I'd say.

Not wanting to stoke up a political firestorm on here but (It will be ignored by me at least if it does), Many over this side of the pond will liken what happened to Trump by the establishment as being like what happened to Boris. They don't fit the accepted mould of what politicians should be, but liked by many of the public.Old-Duckman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 3:21 pm I know that probably many of you are not Trump fans but when he was in office I was paying on the average of $2.40-ish.

As I said in my post...Biden's policies "contributed" to the raise in fuel costs. I would agree that were Trump still our president our fuel costs would still have risen...just not near as much. The whole world is experiencing issues not only with fuel costs but just about everything else as well. My advice to anyone is buy and store food. I have been doing so for a while but surely could use more. Over here all energy prices are rising, electricity and natural gas as well as gasoline. Food prices are risings and are predicted to shoot higher. I know many of you think I'm a bit crazy (OK, maybe more than a bit)...but IMO this is all planned...Hold on I think we are in for a wild ride !Secondtothird wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 7:47 pmTrump also wasn't in office during the huge post-pandemic restriction bounceback of global energy demand that's led to the inevitable surge in global oil prices and thus what you're paying at the pump.Old-Duckman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 3:21 pm I don’t know the conversion factor (price per liter vs $ per gallon) but prices over here vary State to State.

Conspiracy theorists as they are called are often mocked and laughed at with names like tin foil hat brigade being thrown at them in a condescending way but you have to laugh when some of these theories start to come true.Old-Duckman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 11:11 pmAs I said in my post...Biden's policies "contributed" to the raise in fuel costs.

It’s coming down in Italy, gradually. It had got up to €2-2.10 for regular and €2.20++ for super, but I just filled my girlfriends car with regular for a bargain €1.85.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 10:01 am Hope it’s bein reflected in Europe for next months trip

Delighted if the prices are equally low in France. When I was rough costing the trip at the start I think it was €1.85 I based my calculations on and then in some parts of France we’d been told it was heading towards €2.30 so quite an increase.
Saying that €1.85 doesn’t save me much just means Kathleen won’t go as much over budget buying other shite

If you check out global oil prices on Google, you get back that they are falling to "lowest prices in months", "less than $95 per barrel" "Lowest since invasion of "Ukraine"
Wonder why they are still quite high and above 174p per litre in our area

Because everybody is gladly paying it.
There a fuel station fairly local to me and every time I pass it the cars are queuing out onto the road.
Its not like its the cheapest around either.
