LUXEMBOURG, Aug 7 — The first Saturday in August, when Europe's July holidaymakers head homewards and its August sunseekers head south, is the busiest day of the year at the continent's busiest filling station.

And — crucially in a summer of soaring prices — it has famously cheap fuel, making it a prime spot for long-distance truckers and cost-conscious travelling families alike. On Saturday, two 40,000 litre tanker trucks were on course to make between 16 and 20 round trips a day keeping Berchem's petrol and diesel pumps working as the vast forecourt filled with camper vans.Earlier this year, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and global supply chain challenges in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic sent fuel prices and oil giant's profits soaring.

Game Pass Vs. The New PS Plus, The Comparison We Had To MakeSony’s reimagined games-on-demand service shares a lot in common with Microsoft’s The conclusion is laudable. Conclusion: Sony simps spent years saying Game Pass harms devs and they prefer to 'own' (lol) their games, and now that they have some half assed version of Game Pass, suddenly subscription services are amazing. Can't make this shit up Kotaku but nice try😂 Take some other things into consideration when you factor the 'value' of the service.
