Petroleum prices also spiked, probably related to the war in Ukraine but I'm not 100% sure.

- brundolf 4y agoYeah but my understanding is natural gas is the real driver of crisis for Europe right now, esp Germany, but Americans sometimes misunderstand when it's referred to as just "gas"
- Jochim 4y agoYeah, that's fair enough. Sadly the natural gas shortage affects more than just winter heating, in the UK at least it's one of the main factors of the price of electricity. All of this has had a knock on effect that goes way beyond just the price of heating.
- wiredfool 4y agoPetrol/Diesel is flat to slightly down from a few months back, though it's _way_ higher than it was pre-ukraine. In Ireland: ~1.50/l for Diesel -> 2.20, now back down to 1.89 or so. In northern Europe, I saw anywhere between 1.79 and 2.26 late July early Aug. (Including 2.26 and 2.02 on opposite sides of the motorway)
