About a third of global fertiliser passes through the Gulf of Hormuz....

I have a pair of dogs that can solve this, just say the word.

Package up a week's worth and post to the Gulf of Mar a Lago

$2.39 for 95ULP this morning. Not sure if there will be any left after the civilisation is wiped out by the madman later today.

So- that's about $9.04 your dollar per US gallon, at today's exchange is $6.39 US.

In San Francisco today I saw $8.39 for diesel. $6.89 for 91 octane.

Not that it's a competition- I was genuinely curious about how it all shakes out between us. San Francisco is an island unto itself as well. As I said earlier- there's a gas station not far from SF with considerably less expensive prices.

That makes @Tazzieman's price for 95 premium grade fuel look less horrible.

It's being widely reported that we absolutely might have another two weeks before

Barrel prices have dropped dramatically due to the two week ceasefire and Pakistan's input in the peace talks, whilst Afghanistan will be putting on the morning teas, Bravo Donny.

It's TACO Tuesday afterall.

Filled up with diesel on Monday at £1.91/litre and yesterday driving past another garage it was £1.99 / litre. That's just over £9 / UK gallon. Let's hope with the two week cease fire that it has peaked and the orange orangutan gets bored and moves on, leaving everybody else to sort out his horrible mess.

When we first met, the wife owned an old mini (her first car), and used to go to a fuel station that filled the car for you, took your cash and brought your change without you ever getting out the car. So you ca imagine it wasn't the cheapest garage. He recognised her and knew it would be £10 of fuel each time but often couldn't get that in.
I'm convinced it was why the UK finally allowed garages to swap to £/litre rather than gallon which we all understood and a lot of us still work back to for fuel economy and cost

Found another garage rip off up here. Most big filling stations have installed Adblue pumps ( intended primarily for wagons ), but prior to the gulf situation it was £1.99 / litre. But I still buy it at £1.50 / litre from supermarkets. It is also less messy to use supermarket plastic cans.
For my small plant, chainsaw, bush cutter, generator etc all. I use "Aspen" instead of petrol ️, but i haven't bought any since the gulf war, so don't know yet how the price has faired.

I use the garage that I used to live near , and where I filled my first car for about $5. back in the day.
We used to call them service stations , though the majority no longer offer driveway service.
Unlike mine, which is only 1km from the city centre. There is another one , even more old fashioned , even closer!
Service station it remains , but I always man the pump myself. Allows me to have a proper chat to the working chaps(attendants) and takes me back to the night in 1986 when my father in law (who owned a servo at the time) needed extra staff on a Saturday night
I had just finished a 12 hour shift in ED.
Not that far from the hospital, I was a little bemused when I "attended" a young woman I had attended a few hours earlier in an ED cubicle.
All professional and above board on both accounts
She was certainly quite surprised.
