.99 GBP equals $1.92 AUD, that is expensive. If fuel cost that much here in Australia, I would not be able to drive anywhere beyond the necessary short distance travels.
The basic fuel here is 91 RON and the premium is 98 RON. The premium is almost never advertised at the petrol stations so got no idea how much it costs lol. The 91 unleaded is currently $1.11 here and 89c at Costco in Adelaide.
**** Adelaide and their 89c fuel prices, ****en bull****
I think 95RON is the basic stuff here, which at places like Shell and BP, is OK. Supermarket fuel though is just rubbish. I would never put their watered down crap in my car. Shell VPower and BP Ultimate only for me.
My car is crap on petrol anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me that I pay more for the fuel. I have a diesel for economy, but the petrol is for fun.
Syria was not invaded where the vast majority of migrants are coming from. They are in a civil war and many countries are supporting various elements in that war. If anything, Russia's recent involvement has escalated the migration out of Syria. Yes, Iraq and Afghanistan were invaded. Afghanistan maybe for good reason at the time. It was a ****hole then, it's no less a ****hole now. I would want to leave too. Iraq was invaded (unfortunately), but for oil? Maybe... But Maybe not. Securing the free flow of the world's most precious commodity at least make more sense than trying to impose democracy on people who have had no experience with it.
But there are plenty of migrants/refugees/illegal immigrants flooding into Europe from Iraq & Afghanistan, as well as many from Libya, which again fell into chaos after the US took out Gaddafi, once again for oil...
