    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.

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