    Might be an idea to fill up, world oil price up 2%, blockage in the Suez.

    Massive container ship stuck in Suez Canal could take days to free (thenewdaily.com.au)

    I'm on Bobs' side here i think we will see a bit of an increase in fuel costs.

    My cynical view is that "any excuse will do"

    If it was a container ship with EV batteries as cargo, would their charges increase?

    Ask Epic Dragon to pop over and collect them. Her new chair will have no problems in the sand, apparently.
    She might even be able to tow the boat out of its predicament, if the chair's as good as she tells us.

    Probably just thinking of myself, 130l fuel tank, lasts me a while if I manage it properly. I think our fuel prices are regulated by Singapore. It could be weeks before that ship is moved, they say. I'm thinking prices will go up proportional to the length of the blockage, [ Easter, any one?]then drop again. Guess I'm turning into a real grey nomad, watching every penny. The following link says fuel prices may not rise considerably in the short term, but the rise in freight costs, and shortage in consumer products such as computer chips, might cause rises in computer and consumer prices.

    Ever Given Suez Canal blockage should not drive up petrol prices, but Easter might (msn.com)

    The price of fuel here should be dropping. There is no impediment to crude getting to Singapore, where the bulk of our fuel is refined. The impediment is to Europe, so there should be a glut this side of the Suez.
    It's only greed and gouging driving fuel prices up just before Easter. Nothing new.
