It's quite interesting how European reliance on Russian petrol raises US gas prices. Not sure why one substance affects the other

Because crude oil is a global commodity. Since Europe cannot buy Russian crude oil anymore they are buying US, Canadian and South American crude oil which makes it more expensive for the US refiners to buy their crude oil. Supply and demand. Send the crude oil is more expensive for the US refiners the final products, gasoline diesel jet etc are also more expensive. Source: have been working in oil and gas for the last two decades.

We in the UK get a tiny percentage of our gas and oil from Russia, yet our prices have risen too :(

Why are you telling me obvious things that I'm already aware of? At no point did I say I didn't understand anything you foetid piece of distended dogs rectum.

Are you just excited that you knew something relevant? :)

Because oil and gasoline are global markets.

TIL There is not just a price difference, but also a chemical difference between gasoline in the summer and gasoline in the winter.
