Average U.S. retail gasoline prices crossed $3 a gallon for the first time since November on Monday as the conflict in the Middle East worsened, setting up a key test of public approval of President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran, analysts said.
Tehran’s retaliation in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes has disrupted global oil supply, as it hit production facilities in neighboring countries and ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global trade route. Oil prices have surged, with Brent crude rising more than 5% to nearly $77 per barrel, and fuel prices moving up in tandem with the feedstock costs.
It’s $6 a gallon in the UK, I think a good chunk of that is tax/duty tho.
Don’t forget a UK gallon is about 25% bigger than a US gallon (160fl.oz vs 128fl.oz).
(Why yes, yes Imperial measurements are fucking ridiculous, thank you for noticing…)
Oops, you’re right, sorry I forgot UK gallons were even a thing because we don’t use them at all, everything is litres except beer and milk :p
Cannot convert precisely right now, but in Germany I’d say gas is currently at 1,90€ per liter.
That would place the gallon at 7.00 to 7.50 USD.Did the math, that’s 8.35 USD per gallon at current conversion rates.Small wonder EVs are the largest growing sector
