The price per litre has been going South for the last 2 weeks. The gas station opening price for 25th March 2020 will be close to 0.41p / litre Pounds Sterling. Travel restrictions are in place, there has been little snow fall in 24 hours and the snowmobile trails have been closed. So I can't save any money by driving around. There is no snow to clear, so the tractor is idle and Snowmobiling is banned. This means I can now save 0 cents per litre.

Down to about £1.02 per litre in the uk, but likewise, no benefit to most who are grounded

Yes really Peter: £1.02 per litre

It was over £1.30 per litre previously

Just under $1/litre for ULP in Western Australia, but like everywhere else, we're not allowed to joyride. Essential journeys only, like getting food and trying to get bum fodder.

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution

Hi
Living in a part of town with just pavements in front of old terraced houses, I or the other person, would have to step into the road to allow 6ft clearance if meeting someone coming the other way.
So I am quite happy to argue for use of the car to get to a more rural/deserted area for my "daily" fresh air exercise.

Or take a bike ride. With respect, I think your argument on the grounds of passing someone on the street is argument for the sake of it. The problems are large enough without adding hypothetical.
