Quote:
The International Energy Agency announced yesterday its member countries—the U.S., Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe—agreed to release a combined 60 million barrels of oil from their emergency reserves to “send a unified and strong message” that there will be “no shortfall in supplies” due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. With the price of oil at an eight-year high, White House National Economic Council Deputy Director Bharat Ramamurti on Tuesday encouraged U.S. oil and gas companies to increase production: “Prices are quite high, the price signal is strong. If folks want to produce more, they can and they should.”

Gas prices are getting close to 2008 levels.

They were $4.50 a gallon around NYC, and about $11 a gallon in the UK.

Around $1.80 to $2.10 a litre.
How much is that in gallons?
Too lazy to find a converter. 8)

As I said, a tank will last me 2 years months, so I don't care how high they go.
I have bigger considerations. 8)

If it’s 2 Australia dollars per litre:

2 x 3.785 = Au$7.57

7.57 x 0.72 = US$5.45 per gallon, which is probably lower than the price in the UK.
