Israel/Trump/Iran strikes effect: Hike Triggers Gas Stations

[Emanuel]

People are rushing to gas stations because of the price hike—up to about 5% just from this Monday on...

Diesel was already sold out at the first station I went to...

How is it over there in your area?

I suppose I'll regret choosing to come straight home last night after a long shoot when I have to fill my nearly empty tank tomorrow...

... but not nearly as much as I regret my country's terrible choices in leadership.  Who was the idiot on here who said they voted for that guy because they were so against violence and they were certain that he wouldn't get us into another war?

I’ll find out when I go shopping later this morning but I expect any excuse to push prices up instantly that will then take an age to come down and never back to quite what they were.

This is the cycle we are stuck in…

Speaking of cycles, I wonder if I can get a pedal assisted (not fully human powered, - I don’t skip leg day, but that would be madness) version of my 2.75 ton van?

Our local servo's tend to gouge us here, heck even the local shops aren't much better.  We have had a new servo open up and thats dropped prices to a "tolerable" level. No idea for how long. Given any opportunity however and i'll drive the 70 odd kilometers to the next town and do some shopping get anything else that might catch my attention and get a couple of jerry cans as well as its always cheaper. Worst prices i have even seen was last xmas the difference was 48 cents a liter. here it was $1.98 and $1.50 70 kilometers down the road.  I'd like to see them explain how it costs an extra 48c per liter to deliver it 70 kilometers down the road.

Yes it was up from 1.52 to 1.62 a litre with quite big queues of sheep all lining up to get there's.

I decided not to bother and have another 400km in the tank to decide when to get more fuel...
