@NeilHawkesford A good reminder that people in the USA are spoiled on fuel prices. Here people are practically ready to riot over diesel being $6.85/gallon, which (if I’m doing the conversions right) would be about 135 per liter on your pump.
\nOf course the main reason it’s such an issue here is that we truck goods over incredibly long distances so it’s a major inflation driver.
