The prices of fuel have dropped world wide. I personally saw $1.49 per USA gallon and the news noted a place in Denver, Colorado USA that was selling at $1,00 per gallon. Problem is I am not using any fuel with no where to go with the quarantine in effect.
Going to level 2 next week which means we can go for a bit of a drive, be great to get the wife out of the house, she is going stir crazy with the stroke, no work and stuck at home.
Converting to USD and gallons, in Finland we have now $4.49 and it was $5.78 before corona. Mostly taxes, so low oil price does not show 100% in gas price.
Here we can drive as much as we like, Corona situation is not too bad, only 46 deaths per million (USA 230 dpm, UK 460 dpm, Sweden (our neighbor) 298 dpm. Almost all places are closed though, so even we can drive we can’t go anywhere to eat, visit etc.

In Australia we have a large variation in fuel prices. despite many Govt inquiries the oil company’s are too smart.for the Govt.
We have seen a massive fall in the pump price of unleaded less than $1 Aussie per litre but this price is mostly in metro areas. Today I paid $1.43 per litre for 95 octane.Our town has never had cheap fuel.

Saw $1.99 for a US gallon in Eugene Oregon the other day at a cut rate station. Major brands, Chevron, Shell, Exxon are more and credit card purchases about $.10 more. Chevron accepts Safeway discount points that can drop the price anywhere from $.10 to $.40 a gallon. But these days the my points are getting ahead of my fuel usage. At least here the attendant pumps it for you, a nice convenience.
I filled my old cars at 1.049 per litre for 98 Octane just recently. At the top of the price cycle (pre Covid) this fuel can nudge 2.00 per litre. Paul.
