Things aren't always black and white.
I was messaging with a friend in Germany, here's what they are paying (including the Shell station)

Those prices are in Euros per liter. The cheapest station at the lowest grade is $9.20/gallon. The prices are locked in until Sunday when they are expected to go over 3 euros per liter ($12.50/gallon).
The price of natural gas was the equivalent of $600/barrel of oil a few days ago, though I understand it has come down a bit since then.
People with fireplaces or woodstoves are scrounging for wood.
If it can happen there, it can happen here.
