The price of fuel has shot up; something that you most probably expected and will have noticed if you have filled up recently .

This is because of the arguably illegal war started by Israel and the USA in the Middle East and the effect that the conflict has on the Hormuz Straits, where an important amount of oil-tanker traffic passes through...or used to.

If your tank holds 50 litres, then you’re looking at spending nearly 100 euros to fill it with diesel or gasoline.

In February before the Peace President decided toup-end the world economy (again), diesel cost 1.457 euros a litre on average, whereas today it costs 1.997 euros a litre.

As for petrol (gasolina 95) it stood at 1.506 before in February and now also stands at 1.997 euros a litre, as well.

Obviously, this varies from gasolinera to gasolinera in the province, with the one next to Mercadona in Nigüelas being one of the cheapest. Trouble is, you’re going to consume a lot of fuel driving out to somewhere that it is cheap.

Unfortunately, even if the Taco Man, suddenly declares “mission accomplished” a-la-George Bush tomorrow, the damage done to installations in the Gulf will takes weeks, if not months, to put right.
