That's interesting.
If I fill my tank today in England it will cost me on average $7.57 per US gallon.
What did you pay?

$4.54 gal, it used to be $3.09 a little over a month ago! And 6 months ago it hovered around $2.49 to $2.59
What did it cost you 2 months ago?

Re: I USUALLY DON'T BRAG ABOUT GOING TO EXPENSIVE PLACES . . .
Six months ago it was a third less, and it's increased in a linear fashion between then and now. You seem to have had an 80% rise over that six months compared to our 50%.
We still pay 66% more than you do today though.

Russia was selling on the Cheap for years, keeping the price low, and then COVID caused a significant drop in usage for the last couple years.
With Russia out of the market for the now, OPEC is going to take full advantage.
And the producers here in the US are planning to make the most of it.
They are already calling in all the idled oil workers to pick up production again.
But of course, at the local café, the word is that all of this is Biden's fault.

And so it damn well is. Biden backing a NATO guarantee to Russia would have prevented the war before it started but no, old clever-clogs had to stand on his hind legs and mouth off instead because that's what people like him were brought up to do.

Not convinced by that.
It might be what Putin said he wanted but what he wanted was an excuse for invasion so he asked for what he knew he would not get.
If the US had given him everything he was asking for he just have asked for more and then invaded anyway.
Re: I USUALLY DON'T BRAG ABOUT GOING TO EXPENSIVE PLACES . . .
That hypothesis was, of course, at one point, testable, but it wasn't tested. I can't see that testing it would have cost anyone anything.

I don't recall anyone at NATO guaranteeing Ukraine a NATO membership. At least, not until after Vladimir launched the current offensive.
But now, I think they may very well get that membership after Vlad has been dealt with.

With all that is going on with soaring gas prices, I can't believe I drove by my station today and the gas price listed was "$4.38"!

Re: I USUALLY DON'T BRAG ABOUT GOING TO EXPENSIVE PLACES . . .
We've drifted upward, the best price I saw yesterday was $8.09. The worst was $8.59. The government tax dropped $0.066 at the same time to try to offset the rapacious middle men who are laughing all the way to the bank, they appear to have kept the reduction for themselves.
