It does seem to be cheaper in GIB which I'm surprised about, I would have thought they get petrol from the mainland UK.

The last time I was in France, on the Moselle, the French and German local drivers used to cross into Luxembourg to fill up at much cheaper price (at the pump).

Macron put French petrol prices down by 15 centimes a litre on Sunday.Wouldn't suprise me if something similar happens here (and in the UK) soon.

Hmm, let me think on that? No, none!
Just more blatant election campaign cheap tactics.

Agreed but there are Spanish elections sometime next year and in the UK probably in 2023 too if not definitely in 2024.

Don't the Spanish have four tier layers of government from local to Madrid? They must have elections every year?
And not forgetting the added bonus of EU voting too?
Probably more in Catalonia unless they are banned from voting there?

Oh yes, fully agree! I understand that people want to provide parking but it should be compulsory to retain some grass/shrubs/flower bed to allow for natural drainage.
