The councillor is right – the parking will be a hideous blight on the street. Rather than allowing people to do it if they pay, they could try banning it altogether – that would solve the problem.
I found out today that different refineries are set up to process specific types of crude oil. So, a refinery cannot start to process Saudi oil if it was originally set up for Russian supplies.Also apparently different blends produced for summer and winter markets.

Well, at least in part, it will be because the source crude is only one cost of many that has to be factored in. Leaving aside costs of refinement, there will be costs of franchising, of employment, of taxes, of heating and lighting, etc., etc., which may all have increased over the last ten years. Then you also have to consider sales of other products – if those have fallen, or margins have shrunk, the shortfall would have to be made up in the price of the core product.

(Does anyone else remember when people used to actually scrape their windscreens, using a ‘scraper’, or did I just dream that…?).“Life hack: Running your engine to defrost your windscreen costing you too much in petrol? Why not scrape it off with a bit of plastic instead?”

A lot of garage / car combinations now, if you did manage to get the car inside, you wouldn’t then be able to open the door to get out.
