      Just did a conversion. I pay £1.90/litre over here. That works out at $9.80/gallon. You’re still only 2/3 the cost of our fuel, if that.

      It was £1.30 before Epstein Fury started.

        Not diesel, though.

          Mind bogglingly how hard it was getting taxed. Although the ass fucking will return in June when the government goes back to taxing it
