Seen in Seattle today. We're going to see $10/gallon before this is over. I guarantee it.
@Lana East Midlands, England. Presumably an element of panic buying before Easter, but this was mid-afternoon, so I'm going to say anxiety about fuel shortages and/or price spikes due to Trump's stupid war on Iran, probably had something to do with it.
@ApostateEnglishman the UK has a high reliance on imports for crude oil, particularly from the United States, but about 12-14% does come through the Strait of Hormuz. I would consider this a supply issue rather than a price issue in the UK specifically.
