Good grief ... bet thats more than the local wine
meanwhile in France - (psychologically) bit better than boris's 5p -well, if you keep the consumer on the road they'll probably spend additional money in economy.
The 18 centimes ‘refund’ per litre of fuel is set to continue into August in France, President Emmanuel Macron has confirmed. 95 (E10) / 2,07€
...
Mr Macron also advanced more details on the planned ‘food cheque (chèque alimentaire)’ for the most vulnerable households, stating that it would likely be paid in a single payment designed to be as “simple” as possible.
(How much will the food voucher be? According to the profiles of the beneficiaries, the amount of the food check would amount to between €30 and €60 per month and per family . That is a total support by the State of nearly 6 billion euros . For the time being, no information has been revealed as to the mode of payment of the check to the beneficiaries. Cheque, credit card, bank transfer…)

Went past a station in ambleside that was 189.9 for unleaded. Highest ive seen on uk mainland personally, not including mull which was a silly £2.60 last year
My best man hired a little minibus for my stag last weekend, we filled up just outside Edinburgh £1.99/l
Glad I wasn't paying 
Sauce?
It is in some places. Well almost. Local garage has it at £1.99.99 per litre atm.
One of the brides I shot who lives in the USA messaged recently asking about UK prices, we have it better than over there it seems lol.
Its £8.86 per gallon over here...............................and only $6.39 in California so £5.09 per gallon or £1.34 per litre over there (only 3.75l to a US gallon
)

Petrol is about £1/litre in USA, vs about £1.70/litre here. Dunno if they pay vat on top of that.
Ignore prices in gallons coz the gallons aren't equal.

Saw someone fill up a pickup on sunday was just shy of £100. Thought £1.71 for unleaded at Asda was expensive turned out it was the cheapest for miles around Sainsburys is £1.72 or 3 thats the closest everything else including Shell is silly money
