Since the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, the cost of driving has begun to rise quite noticeably. If the war continues, our oil stocks and reserves are bound to diminish.
I thought it would be an interesting exercise to see how petrol and diesel prices have risen where you are since before the conflict began. We have a fair geographical spread, so it could prove a useful comparison for us all as time goes by.
To start things off, I drive a diesel car (Mercedes GLC). It has been pretty economic up until now, but for how long? Before the conflict, I was paying A$1.79 a litre for my diesel. Today, I pay A£2.57. That`s a rise of more than 40% in a couple of weeks.
How do things compare where you are with the grade of fuel you use?
I guess those driving electric cars will enjoy this thread...
