Local petrol pumps are out of fuel, leading to fighting at petrol stations. Authorities are detaining people who protest against the severe fuel supply issues.
European gasoline prices are climbing higher. S&P Global reported that supply constraints and robust margins caused the steep rises. Meanwhile, MotorTrend reported on a novel method for cars that aims to deliver synthetic gas for under $5, aiming to provide a eco-friendly fuel alternative.
