I read in the Mail that over half of the profits of Centrica were from the sale of one of its subsidiary companies and the bulk of Shells was from oil derivative products from their refineries, sold around the world and nothing to do with the domestic market. The MSM should get a full breakdown of where the profits are being made first, then if we are being taken for mugs, they would have the evidence to justify another windfall tax.TitanTim said:

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.

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.
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 said:
