(refiles with correct dollar conversion)
LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) – About 50 people briefly blocked access to Royal Dutch Shell’s 245,000 barrel per day Stanlow refinery in Wales on Thursday night in protest against high fuel prices, the company said.
“The group temporarily blocked access to Oil Sites Road and caused Shell to delay the movement of fuel by road,” Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) said in a press release.
Shell said the protest began about 8:30 pm local time and normal road movements were quickly resumed, with the protesters leaving by midnight.
Britain has the second highest diesel price in Europe, according to the AA automobile club, with a national average of 117.4 pence ($3.91) per litre in April 2008, and with the Welsh part of the United Kingdom paying the most at 118.3 pence. (Reporting by Janet McGurty; editing by James Jukwey)

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
