I would buy right now. Unions in Yemen have just caused some shutdowns.

The nice thing about big tanks is that you can pick and choose where
you fill up - very thrifty and middle class. The truly wealthy, which
I am not, don't really care all that much what they pay for fuel.

I dunno. I lived in Essex, and the "wealthy" folks I knew were very much
tight wads, and penny pinchers...

We like Essex a lot and it was on our short list of retirement
locations but eventually decided it was really out of our league if we
also wanted to have a decent boat.

It's going up another 1.41 cents per litre. New price = $1.41.6 per
litre.

Whats a litre?

About a US quart. Everyone else in the world uses metric, not imperial
or US measurement. US is a holdout in some businesses. Medicine,
science and much international trade is now in metric.

Take the UK, even they now do litres having abandoned the Imperial
measure some time ago.

Litre is the common spelling, however for US, liter is the official
spelling.

So for a rough estimate, 4 litres is a US gallon. But to be entirely
accurate, 3.7854118 litres in a US gallon.

1 Liter is 1.05668821 US quarts.

Clear as mud?

If your not into medicine, science, international trade and live in the
