I drove past a BP station on my way home at 4pm, where ULP91 was 219,9c/l. This is no more than the usual high point of the price cycle, though it may take longer to drop back to the low point of 169.9c/l. I still have 3/4 of a tank, as I didn't turn the key for 4 days.

Two drug dealers are given a chance by a judge to avoid prison... The judge tells them, "You guys don't look like hardened criminals. I'll give you a deal: I'm releasing you for 24 hours. Your job is to go out and convince as many people as possible to quit using drugs. If you're successful, I'll drop the charges. Come back tomorrow and report your numbers." The next day, the first guy says, "Your Honor, I got 14 people to quit! I drew two circles: a big one and a tiny one. I told them the big one was their brain before drugs, and the tiny one was their brain after drugs." The judge is impressed. He turns to the second guy. "And you?" "I got 165 people to quit, sir!" The judge is stunned. "165?! Did you use the same 'brain' circles?" "Sort of," the guy says. "I pointed to the tiny circle and said, 'Listen up, boys... this is what your asshole looks like before you go to prison.'"
