Uptown Houston, $3.99 a gallon for both petrol and diesel. That's 75p a litre give or take :-X

Even CN have picked up on just how tied to China th UK has become, arguing that the Chagos deal, the recent trade trips and trying to defend the Iranian regime only make sense of we're allies of China and by definition, anti American.

But I thought USA was less than UK Gallon More Than US Gallon in capacity.

But just checked 25 Gall tank on my old Pontiac and seems UK is the caller holding only
20.8169 UK Gall

As they say we learn something new every day.
A quart is 1.04/5 litres, and 4 quarts to a US gallon, ergo, a gallon of fuel is pretty much equivalent to 4 litres ;)

A proper British gallon is 4.55 litres.

I hope the yanks recalibrate the trip computers on their cars when they import them here.

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.

Getting rid of the regime is all well and good, but the problem is there doesnt seem to be anyone in Iran to take over governing the country when thats achieved.
So unless Trump thinks he can govern it remotely from Washington, its hard to see what the end game will be.

I suspect that's exactly what he has in mind, some kind of puppet regime, maybe headed by Reza Pahlavi the exiled Crown Prince who seems to have considerable support from Iranians in Iran and abroad.  :-\

We should all be hoping for the demise of the Ayatollahs and their Islamic Revolutionary regime.  :y

...resulting from the end of Iranian funded terrorism


https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-tsc9yM5I6U   :o

A quick AI search came up with this list of Iranian proxy militias who operate in the Middle East.  ::)

Hezbollah – A powerful Shiite Islamist group in Lebanon, founded in the early 1980s with Iranian support, it functions as both a political party and a military force, playing a central role in Iran’s regional strategy.

Hamas – A Sunni Islamist militant group in the Gaza Strip, established in 1987, which has received significant financial and military backing from Iran despite sectarian differences, united by opposition to Israel.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) – A more direct Iranian proxy than Hamas, operating in both Gaza and the West Bank, known for its militant activities and alignment with Tehran’s objectives.

Houthis (Ansar Allah) – A Shiite Muslim movement in Yemen, which gained control of the capital Sanaa in 2014 and has received weapons, training, and strategic support from Iran, conducting drone and missile attacks against Israel and Red Sea shipping.

Asaib Ahl al-Haq (AAH) – An Iranian-backed Shiite militia in Iraq, formed in 2006, with strong ties to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah, involved in attacks on U.S. and coalition forces, and designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S.

Kata’ib Hezbollah – An anti-American Shiite militia in Iraq, supported by Iran’s Quds Force, known for targeting U.S. personnel and installations, and linked to attacks on American bases.

Badr Organization – Iran’s oldest proxy in Iraq, a Shiite political party and paramilitary force established in 1982, deeply integrated into Iraq’s security structures and aligned with Tehran.

Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba (HHN) – A Shiite militia formed in 2013 by Akram al-Kaabi, trained and funded by Iran’s IRGC, active in Syria and Iraq, and designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S.

Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS) – An Iraqi militia with close ties to Iran’s IRGC and the Houthis, active in both Iraq and Syria, involved in combat operations against opposition forces.

Fatemiyoun Brigade – An Afghan Shia militia composed of Afghan refugees in Iran, trained and funded by the IRGC, deployed in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen to support Iranian interests.

Zainabiyoun Brigade – A Pakistani Shia militia, also trained and funded by the IRGC, composed of religious students and political dissidents, used in conflicts in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.

Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) – A government-sanctioned umbrella group in Iraq that includes multiple Iran-aligned militias such as AAH, Kata’ib Hezbollah, and the Badr Organization, many of which maintain direct operational links to Tehran.
