From a Spanish forum, posted by a Scot on holiday.
“ I can’t believe how much the cost of fuel in Spain has risen. We left the UK on Thursday and petrol was around 1.33GBP a litre. On arrival in Spain every petrol station seems to be about 1.85EUR a litre. The UK always had some of the highest fuel prices in Europe for many years but it seems that we are now one of the lowest. Hard to believe but very welcome. Not sure why Spain has suddenly got these very high prices and it can’t be easy for many to afford to fill their cars.“
Level of stocks? Suppliers are different?
Matters not , soon we will have multi national forces keeping the Straits open to ships. Good luck with that.. When a European navy vessel sinks, Trump will say poor show………..
Heard a talking head on telly box in the US tother day pointing out that there's absolutely no reason behind the price rises beyond media driven fear mongering and conformation bias to try and control the narrative. His reasoning? Simple... The amount of available oil in the US hasn't changed, they're still net exporters of oil, and as they've just shifted the first batch of US/Venezuelan oil, the prices should actually be coming down.
Alot of questions are being asked as to why Europe, especially UK, Spain and France are so anti to what's going on in Iran. Perhaps the potential end to Islamic Fundamentalist sponsored terrorism and cheap Chinesium shite is to much for the globalist puppets to bear

Killing 40,000 protesters since January is a pretty good reason for shutting down that regime. The freedom of the mostly oppressed population, stability resulting from the end of Iranian funded terrorism and, of course, the oil are all pretty handy coincidences.
The US getting involved in the insurance of shipping is a massive game changer in the global financial arena as it's a significant finger to the City of London and its centuries old monopoly of that market.
